The Z3, produced for the USA and Canada markets between 1996 and 2002, represents a compact premium sports car available as a two-seater convertible (Roadster, E36/7) and a two-door coupe (E36/8). Building on a sporting legacy, the Z3 offered engaging driving dynamics, often powered by renowned inline-six engines, with horsepower ranging from approximately 138 hp to over 300 hp in M variants. This model continued a tradition of driver-focused vehicles, offering a blend of performance and open-air enjoyment.
This comprehensive Parts Catalog is designed to assist Z3 owners and technicians in accurately identifying and sourcing genuine replacement components. It meticulously details parts for a wide array of systems, including exterior body panels, interior trim, powertrain-related components such as engine mounts and transmission mounts, chassis elements like brakes and suspension, comfort systems including air conditioning and convertible tops, and essential electrical components. The catalog provides genuine manufacturer part numbers, detailed diagrams, and approximate pricing and labor estimates, making it an invaluable resource for parts procurement, maintenance planning, and repair cost management.
