The BMW Z3 became famous when it was featured in a James Bond film. Its celebrity also made it one of the most in demand autos from 1999 to the year 2k due to its prize winning designs and efficient promotional program. Before the halt of its production, the BMW Z3 was succeeded by the new generations of the BMW Z4, which offers luxury class roadsters and coupes. Both the M dragster and Coupe versions of the BMW Z3 had yearly equipment changes before the production of the announced cars was stopped in 2002.

A major facelift of the Z3 was done 2001 where the engines and the interiors of the car were improved and redesigned. One of the main concerns of the market with the BMW Z3 is their plastic windows which were quite on the unappealing end compared to other BMW series which had glass windows. The range of the engine selection for the BMW Z3 also dilated after its facelift and it already included 3.0L and 3.2L for the roadster and the Coupes. Some of the engines of the BMW Z3 were offered only in a selected location like Northern America and Europe.

The production of the Z3’s M racer started from 1998 to 2002. Various annual changes from the engine to the interiors were also made to answer the market’s call for its improvement. Lots of issues were solved in the production of the Z3’s dragster and almost all of its owners were quite happy with the result until the BMW Z4 came and the production of the Z3 was stopped.

By 1999, A BMW Z3 Coupe was also released. Though, the Z3 Coupes were available only in six cylinder engines and some availability of was subject to specific and selected locations, the production of the Z3 coupes still lasted for four years marking its demand and success.
