The Appeal
Super stylish and BMW build quality in a roadster form, the Z3 was always going to be a hit. Initially launched in 1997 and built on the E36 3-Series platform, they came in a variety of engine sizes ranging from the initial 1.9-litre offering right up to a 3.0-litre. Here we have the 2.0 litre version, built on the straight-six M52B20 engine, providing ample power when required and ensuring you get reasonable economy too.
The current owner purchased the car twelve years ago, adding only 22,000 miles in his ownership. Enjoyed as a weekend car and stored in an underground car park throughout this time, it is now being made available for auction due to its relative lack of use. With a full service history and recent detailing throughout, this Z3 looks incredible and will certainly generate a lot of bidding interest.
