The last BMW Z3 roadster was produced on Friday at BMW Manufacturing’s Spartanburg, South Carolina, plant, marking the first model changeover for the 10-year-old factory.
The six-cylinder engine, Sepia Metallic roadster with Arizona Sun leather interior rolled off the production line at 12:34 pm but will remain at the plant as a display in the Zentrum museum and visitors centre.
Production of the next generation Z4 roadster will begin in the autumn.
