2000 BMW Z3 Coupé 3.0

Basic information and history

This unique BMW Z3 Coupé stands out with its rare Individual paint finish in Evergreen Green. Originally delivered in Titansilber Metallic as a 2.8 Z3 Coupé in March 2000, it has since been professionally repainted in the striking Evergreen color, typically reserved for the Z3M models of that era. The respray was meticulously executed, with all door frames and the trunk painted to match, maintaining a factory-like appearance. Only the engine bay retains its original silver finish, preserving a subtle nod to its origins. A truly distinctive example of this iconic model!
