The 2001 BMW Z3 for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2001 BMW Z3; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2001 BMW Z3, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. NHTSA has 29 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, air bags and engine and engine cooling.
What the specs mean
Power: the 3.0L 6-cylinder; drive: rear-wheel drive. 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.
Its combined rating is 11.2 L/100 km, which means roughly 34 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $58.80 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the Z3
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Practical details
As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A week with the Z3 answers more than any brochure. Drive the Z3 on your commute before you commit to it.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
