The 2002 BMW Z3 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2002 BMW Z3 for sale by us right now. This page sets out the 2002 BMW Z3 for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the Z3
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Owners filed 6 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, steering and electrical system; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
The engine is the 3.0L 6-cylinder, with rear-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 11.2 L/100 km combined, so budget about 34 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $58.80 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the Z3
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Space and size
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
Rent it for a week first
If the Z3 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Year and trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $196 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
One more step
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2002 BMW Z3 from us first.
