The Appeal
BMW’s first modern entry into the mass market roadster business, the Z3 combined familiar mechanical components and a retro-inspired body design to great success. Now widely appreciated as a modern classic, low mileage six cylinder examples are becoming increasingly sought after, particularly when equipped with the 5 speed ZF manual gearbox, and values have been increasing accordingly.
This example was in the possession of the previous owner from 1999, was always garaged, and has a full service history. Acquired and recommissioned after a four year lay-up, the current owner was taken with its excellent condition but hasn’t used it as much as she expected and so this is your opportunity to capitalise on her great find. With very low mileage for its age, it’s a real survivor car that is ready to be further enjoyed or preserved and pampered. The choice is yours, so get bidding!
The History and Paperwork
- Previous owner in possession since 1999
- Off the road 2017-2021
- Acquired and recommissioned by current owner
- Full service history
- Always garaged by current and previous owner
- Invoices for recommissioning and recent new clutch slave cylinder
- MOT expires 8 June 2022
- V5 present in owner’s name
- Original owner’s manuals in leather wallet
- For sale due to less than expected use
The Interior
- All original
- Everything functions
- Unmarked red leather seats
Despite its low mileage, it’s a real surprise and pleasure to see that not even the driver’s seat bolster seems to have suffered the usual level of wear. In fact, the seller describes the interior condition as ‘fantastic’ and reports that there are no marks, scuffs or damage anywhere in the cabin. The red floor mats are thought to be original and they don’t seem to be worn at all and are a great reminder of some of the less sobre colour schemes that were offered on the Z3.
Reflecting the level of care with which this car has obviously been treated, absolutely everything reportedly works in the cabin. The original wind deflector remains in place and the boot is also very clean and tidy with all of the original tools present and correct.
The Exterior
- Paintwork reported to be excellent, save for scuff to nearside front wing
- No dents
- Very good wheels and tyres with good tread
- Wide body version
This really must have been a high days and holidays car as there’s barely any stone chips to show for its age and admittedly limited mileage. Sadly there has been a minor altercation with something immovable as there is a small scuff on the passenger side front wheel arch, and a crack to the light cover just adjacent but it shouldn’t be a big job to remedy. One door mirror also has a slight scuff but neither detract from the overall impression of a fine looking car.
Years of garage storage have obviously been kind to the hood, too, which remains in fine fettle and the rear window is unmisted and free from damage. The distinctive five spoke alloy wheels are also in good condition and wear tyres with a good level of tread remaining. The seller hasn’t been underneath the car but their trusted MOT tester reported no issues and it has no advisories on the current ticket.
The Mechanics
- Runs very sweetly
- Limited slip differential
- Classic BMW straight six sound
The engine bay is very original and the car reportedly starts first time every time and runs very sweetly. With the roof down, it’s easy to appreciate the sound of BMW’s naturally aspirated straight six which the seller reports still pulls hard and, with a fresh clutch master cylinder, it changes gear very smoothly.
The brakes are strong and pull the car up in a straight line. In short, it’s ready to be enjoyed, though with the condition of this car, it would be easy to imagine it being preserved for posterity.

Summary
A well preserved example of the grunty modern classic roadster.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
