Description

In excellent condition inside and out, a couple of stone chips otherwise paintwork unmarked. No rust or marks - only minor aesthetics is paint on wing mirrors faded and powdery looking. It is Hamann badged and this is reflected in the additional chrome styling eg on air intakes, washers, exhaust tailpipes, handbrake and the addition of a rear spoiler.
The wheels are chromed split rims and the chrome is unfortunately blistering, but not too distracting. They can be re-chromed, or I have sourced some alloy rims as replacements for a small cost.
The engine compartment is tidy and there is a modified air intake with filter and a bracing bar across the suspension units for added stability.
The hood is unmarked and not faded and there is a mesh baffle behind the seats for when the top is down. The top is dropped manually and there is a skirt to place on it for protection when down.
The interior is beige leather which is clean and unmarked and the whole cockpit is in excellent condition. Hamann pedals add to the detail. The glove box does drop which is an issue with these models. The boot space is clean and contains an unused tool kit and spare wheel, plus an eight stack CD player.
It is a first class example in excellent condition as can be seen in the photographs.

I had previously owned a Z3 and they are enormous fun to drive as well as being iconic in their styling. It looks like a sports car. Also it is a very comfortable ride compared with similar sports cars having less stiff suspension. It is a proper grand tourer which means it is comfortable on longer journeys as well as day trips. With the Hamann extras it looks the part and is a stylish head turner. As a convertible it is perfect for the summers and warmer weather we are enjoying: this is the car to travel in to enjoy these summer and other warm days.
