Highlights
- Finished in the unusual and distinctive Fiji Green
- Equipped with a manual gearbox
- Convertible soft top roof in good condition
- Will come with a new MOT
The Appeal
While they’ve long been known and loved for great saloons, BMW have for some time now proved their worth as a convertible sports car manufacturer. Here we have one of their most accomplished creations, a Z3.
Resplendent in the striking hue of Fiji Green, this Z3 cannot help but stand out from the crowd. With BMW’s 1.9-litre four cylinder engine and a five-speed manual gearbox, it’s a great car to drive as well.
It hasn’t been used a great deal in recent years, so it’s up to the next owner to drop the roof, and head out on the open road.
The History and Paperwork
- The MOT expired on 21st October 2022 and the vendor informs us that a new one will be supplied
- Original book pack present
- Collection of old MOT certificates and invoices
- Passed its last MOT test in October 2021 at 52,412 miles
- Distinctive registration number
The Interior
- Dark blue leather upholstery with Fiji Green piping and a curious etched design
- There’s not a great deal of wear to the seats, besides some gentle creasing on the driver’s side
- The carpeting presents well, although the overmats are a little tired
- The dashboard looks good, with no damage we could discern
- The plastics have faded a little, most notably on the steering wheel
- It appears a small piece is missing from the top of the gear selector
- All the switchgear appears in reasonable condition for its age
- The instrumentation looks smart
- A tonneau cover and tool kit are included inside the boot
The Exterior
- Fiji Green paintwork
- Besides some slight kerbing on a couple of them, the five-spoke alloy wheels present well
- Both the paint and bodywork appear to have been carefully looked after
- There appear to be few noticeable marks overall, although we noted a blemish on the rear bumper
- The front number plate is slightly cracked
- The soft top roof apparently operates smoothly and appears in really nice shape
The Mechanics
- 1.9-litre inline-four
- Five-speed manual gearbox
- Slight corrosion to the engine’s aluminium components
- The vendor informs us that it starts well and drives nicely
- We’ve not been informed of any mechanical issues
Summary
Z3s make wonderful sports cars with great styling, tractable engines and excellent handling. This looks to be a really nice example and we’re sure the next owner will be very pleased with it.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
