The All-Important Z3 Maintenance (Done & Dusted)The common, expensive structural and mechanical weak points of the Z3 chassis have already been completely resolved on this car:
Structural Sills: Two complete brand-new outer door sills fitted just over a year ago at a cost of £3, 000 (full receipt present). The chassis is structurally excellent.
The Roof: Brand new soft-top roof fitted 5 years ago. It has been recently cleaned, treated, and completely re-proofed. 100% watertight.
Brakes & Tyres: Brand new front brake discs and pads recently fitted alongside brand new front tyres.
Sensors: Both linear and rotational sensors have been replaced, ensuring the traction control/ ABS systems function flawlessly.
Condition & Drive
Mechanically, the car runs and drives perfectly with the iconic, smooth BMW straight-six power delivery. There are no known mechanical issues, warning lights, or leaks.
Cosmetically, the bodywork is in great condition and retains a brilliant shine. It has been lovingly cared for, though it does feature minor, age-related imperfections to be expected with an honest, unrestored modern classic of this vintage. The interior features a high-quality Atlantic CD stereo player with a removable security front faceplate
