context_page_description: The BMW Z3 is a range of two-seater sports cars which was produced from 1995 to 2002. The body styles of the range are:
  2-door roadster
  2-door coupé
  The Z3 was based on the E36 3 Series platform, while using the rear semi-trailing arm suspension design of the older E30 3 Series. It is the first mass-produced Z Series car.
  Z3M models were introduced in 1998 in roadster and coupé body styles and were powered by the S50, S52, or S54 straight-six engine depending on country and model year. The Z3M models came with a 5-speed manual transmission.
  Production ended on June 28, 2002, with the Z3 line replaced by the E85 Z4.
context_section_description: To tie in with the appearance in the GoldenEye film, BMW released a "James Bond Edition" Z3 for sale through the Neiman Marcus Christmas catalogue. The James Bond Edition was sold in 1996 for US$35,000 (equivalent to $57,056 in 2019). BMW and Neiman Marcus had originally set a 20-unit sales goal, but this was later increased to 100 units after receiving a high level of interest from customers.
  The James Bond Edition was based on the Z3 1.9i and included a 007 dash plaque, 007 Bond floor mats, unique wheels, and chrome exterior trim. The colour scheme was an "Atlantic blue" exterior with beige leather interior, matching the Z3 which appeared in GoldenEye.
