Video of car: - details above


Offered for sale is this incredibly rare BMW Z3 M Roadster. Only 918 of these amazing machines were made in right hand drive (with only 516 remaining on the roads today. Of these only 48 were ever built in the beautiful Imola Red, which in my opinion is by far the nicest colour, especially when complimented with the Imola Red/ Nappa Black interior. All of which makes this a very rare opportunity to own one of the fastest appreciating classic cars in the world.


These cars are the 3. 2cc M version of the ever popular BMW Z3, and are a completely different beast to the standard Z3 you see on the roads. With an astonishing 321bhp, the driving experience is completely raw with the only driver aids being power steering, ABS and a limited slip differential, so very different from modern day cars.


If you are looking to buy an M Roadster, then this is one for you. Only 2 previous owners, extensive service history, and will be sold with 12 months MOT.


This car was first registered at Sytner BMW in Sheffield on 27th March 1998.


Specification:

The car benefits from: 25% Limited Slip Differential; Front Airbags; Heated Windscreen Washer Nozzles; Electric Windows; Velour Floor Mats; Electric Leather Sports Seats; Heated Seats; M Leather Steering Wheel; Electric Black Softtop; Roll Bar Protection System; Warning Triangle; BMW Business CD RDS; ABS; Power Steering; Immobiliser; Alarm; Remote Central Locking; 17inch Z3M Wheels; lastly the car also has the very rare illuminated BMW M Gear Knob from new.


Bodywork:

For a 22 year old car it is in very good condition, but does have marks commensurate with age. The paintwork really does shine, and the car looks great. But there are the odd surface scratch here and there, and the odd pin dent. There are no scuffs, and there is no sign of any corrosion.


Interior:

The interior is in excellent condition, and given its age, would really put a 1 year old car to shame. The seats are in excellent condition with none of the usual seat bolster wear that you see on most Z3's, the passenger seat is virtually unmarked. Everything is in full working order, and in fantastic condition.


Mechanicals:

As you would expect the car drives incredibly well, and really does put a smile on your face. The engine sounds great, and pulls through each gear very well. The gearbox is smooth and precise. There are no knocks, bangs or untoward noises. The car does not use or leak oil, or water, and does not overheat.

This really is a fantastic genuine car, and one that will only increase in value. A real opportunity to own a piece of BMW motoring history. The only reason for sale is that it just doesn’t get used, coupled with mounting pressure from my wife to move it on. I have owned the car for over three years, it is registered in my name, and located at my home address.
