Wind Back Time
2003 BMW Z4 3.0ltr
Specifications
Description
Lean and Voluptuous, the Z4 is an exhilarating sports car and one of the better choices for Touring.
BMW has long made machines that embody its “Ultimate Driving Machine” motto and this enticing drive certainly has the ability to Bring It On.
You seek the traditional precision and excitement of a BMW driving experience in a purely sporting platform. As with other BMW hardtop convertibles, the Z4 offers the option of going top-down with the sun on your face and the wind in your hair, with the option of deploying the power hardtop should the weather turn sour or the sun become too intense.
Nothing drives quite like a BMW and, given the Z4’s inherent sportiness, it’s especially true of this car.

Its a great Touring car for two adults, there's not room for much else.
However, the lack of interior space, makes up for in storage; there's a small cargo shelf behind the seats, a low cargo net to trap objects nearby, and a center console tray, as well as clam-shell door pockets. And you're best to pack for that weekend trip with smaller bags; the boot space is big enough for a couple of carry-on suitcases, plus a camera bag or several duffels.
The BMW Z4 3.0i is increasingly recognised as one of BMW's emerging modern classics. Featuring the legendary naturally aspirated M54 straight-six engine, classic rear-wheel drive, distinctive styling by Chris Bangle and an analogue driving experience that is becoming increasingly rare, well-presented examples continue to attract growing interest from enthusiasts and collectors alike.
As the automotive industry moves towards smaller turbocharged engines and electrification, original, low-kilometre examples such as this are becoming harder to find. While no future values can ever be guaranteed, the Z4 3.0i possesses many of the characteristics that have historically made BMW sports cars highly collectible, strong engineering, timeless design, enjoyable performance and limited availability of quality examples.
For the discerning buyer, it represents not only an exceptional sports car to own and enjoy today, but also a modern classic with genuine long-term appeal.
A great wee Sports Car packed with Fun - Definitely a Future Classic Car.
