About this generation

The BMW Z3 Coupe expanded the Z3 line with a fixed-roof body style based on the same compact sports-car platform as the roadster. It entered the U.S. market for the 1999 model year and remained on sale there through 2000 before the facelifted coupe arrived. The E36/8 coupe became one of the most distinctive and limited-production Z3 variants.
