BMW Z3 M 3.2 Coupe 2dr Petrol Manual (268 g/km, 325 bhp)

Finished in Estoril Blue with Two-Tone Black and Estoril Blue Leather, this is the later and highly coveted S54-engined Z3 M Coupé — the final evolution of BMW's original "clown shoe".

Produced for a very short period between 2001–2002, the S54 version benefitted from the same 3.2-litre straight-six found in the E46 M3, delivering 325 bhp, an 8,000rpm redline and a far sharper top-end character than the earlier S50 cars. It is widely regarded as the ultimate factory specification of the Z3 M Coupé.

Only 168 right-hand-drive S54 Coupés were produced worldwide, with just 123 supplied new to the UK, making this one of the rarest modern BMW M cars ever officially sold here. That scarcity, combined with its analogue driving experience — hydraulic steering, manual gearbox, compact dimensions — places it firmly in the category of modern collectable.

This particular example has been extensively overhauled mechanically, with the current owner investing significantly with Redish Motorsport, ensuring the car is presented in excellent mechanical order. Thousands have been spent bringing the car up to a very high standard — work carried out by one of the UK's most respected BMW M specialists.

The vehicle presents in excellent all-round condition for its year and mileage and is supported by an extensive history file, evidencing careful ownership and ongoing maintenance.

With naturally aspirated M cars becoming increasingly sought after, and production numbers this low, the S54 Z3 M Coupé is widely viewed as one of BMW M's most underappreciated modern classics. Values have shown consistent long-term resilience, and as the market continues to favour analogue, low-volume M cars, well-maintained examples such as this are increasingly difficult to source.

A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most distinctive and investment-worthy M cars of its era.
