BMW Z3

BMW Z3 Coupé and M Coupé, 1998–2002 The small, sharp one, and a cult classic. BMW grafted a long hatchback roof onto its Z3 roadster, a project a group of its engineers developed in their own time, and critics promptly called it a clown shoe or a bread van. That odd profile is the reason to buy it: you get a two-seat sports car with a usable cargo area under the rear glass. The M Coupé is the one collectors chase, with BMW M's straight-six and production of around 6,291, though sources disagree on the exact figure. Every Z3 was built at BMW's plant in South Carolina.
