Description
Throwing it back to the 90s we are proud to present the 1998 BMW Z3 1. 9 Orinoco Edition. Highly sought-after as both a weekend cruiser and a reliable daily driver. With its sporty and compact design, this German whippet is ideal for those Summer drives. The addition of a soft top roof ensures that it is well-prepared for the occasional grey spell.
The Z3 comes equipped with a range of features to enhance comfort, convenience, and safety. It includes ABS for improved braking performance, air conditioning to keep the cabin cool, and an alarm system for added security. The car also boasts stylish alloy wheels and central locking for ease of access. Safety features include a driver's airbag, traction control, and front fog lights for better visibility in adverse conditions. The interior offers electric seats, electric mirrors, and front electric windows. Additional features include heated mirrors and seats for added comfort, leather seat trim for a luxurious feel, metallic exterior finish, PAS for effortless manoeuvring, and a service indicator to keep track of maintenance requirements. Overall, these features contribute to a well- rounded driving experience.
This en-vogue roadster features a silver exterior with black trim, exuding a captivating look. It is powered by a 1895cc petrol engine and with its 5- speed manual transmission, the car offers an engaging driving experience, complemented by a top speed of 130mph. The engine emits a satisfying note, enhancing the overall driving pleasure. Equipped with a four-cylinder engine, it also boasts an impressive fuel efficiency of 35mpg.
Earlier this year the car underwent some maintenance and replacement procedures. The radiator, radiator cap, and coolant flush have all been replaced. An oil and filter service has been conducted. The car has also passed its MOT inspection, which involved replacing both front brake hoses and both rear tyres as per requirements. The gear shift and hazard switch have been replaced all using genuine BMW parts. To compliment the rear, both front tyres have also been replaced.
It is a rare occurrence to come across a BMW with such exceptional provenance and in such a well-preserved and usable state, making this Orinoco a truly remarkable find. This car is poised to be a fantastic addition to the collection of any enthusiast. It will undoubtedly captivate and bring immense joy to its new owner.
