1999 BMW Z3M Roadster - Fabulous Example - on The Market For Sale

First registered in November 1999, this S50-engined Z3M is finished in the Dakar Yellow that was such a show-stopper on the first E36 M3 press cars of the early 1990s. A rare colour on the RHD Roadsters, it really pops in daylight and still looks classy – not something you could say about every shade of yellow chosen by car manufacturers over the years.

Since 2006, which is as far back as the online MOT history files go, our Z3M averaged between one and two thousand miles a year. It’s now showing 55, 000 miles. There were no advisories on the last MOT which was carried out last October.

Current owner Derek bought this car about seven months ago, having given up on his long search for a Z3M Coupé. Typically, as soon as he bought the Roadster, a suitable Coupé in Estoril Blue turned up. ‘It’s got 70-odd thousand miles on it and it doesn’t feel as tight as this Roadster,’ says Derek. The arrival of the ‘hearse’ means that this sparkling convertible is now up for grabs.

The bodywork is described by Derek as perfect, apart from a tiny dimple on the right hand side of the bonnet which he thinks may have been caused by the bonnet being closed with something left on top of the engine and a couple of minor touch-up marks on then front bumper - as you might expect.

The electro-hydraulic soft top is in good condition and works perfectly. The even better news is that the car comes with the optional hard top, an item you’d otherwise be paying in the region of £1200 for, including the fitting kit. Because it was ordered new with the car, Derek’s one is of course in the correct shade. There’s a stand and a non-BMW bag for it which will be included with the car. Derek has noticed some clunking over rough roads when the hard top is in place but thinks this can be easily sorted through the top’s adjustment mechanism. He simply hasn’t got around to it.

Various AC Schnitzer parts were fitted to the car in 2005, including the two roll hoops, pedals, handbrake, door trims, a front spoiler at just under £630 and a set of Schnitzer alloys at £3200. Derek had the bad fortune to hit a Wiltshire pothole which did a lot of damage to one of the Schnitzer wheels, so he put a lot of effort into sourcing and refurbishing a set of correct differentially-sized Z3M BMW alloys, which the car now wears. The Schnitzer wheels are available to purchase separately. Derek has been quoted £181 for repairs to the damaged rim, which will also need a tyre.
