Thinking of buying the 2000 BMW Z3?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2000 BMW Z3; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2000 BMW Z3 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
The numbers in plain words
The 2.5L 6-cylinder with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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 11.8 L/100 km combined: about 35 litres every 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $20.65 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the Z3 makes sense
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Room inside
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Z3 answers the big questions. Rent the Z3 for a week and see how it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
