The Appeal
Original, low-mileage cars are to be cherished, and this BMW Z3 is just that. It comes with unrivalled provenance and has a mere 14,781 miles under its belt.
Here is its story.
The vendor sourced this car brand new in 2002 for professional gentlemen, acquiring it from a German BMW dealer; they were hard to come by outside of Germany at that time. The original owner kept the car garaged and used it very sparingly, entrusting it to the same local expert who serviced and took it through MOT each year. When the original owner died, the car passed to their wife, and it is now back with the vendor who supplied it new.
As the photographs show, the Z3 presents beautifully and is complete with its rare matching hard top. The vendor has recently carried out a recommissioning service, including the fitment of new tyres. Complete with advisory-free MOT, it’s ready to enjoy.
