The Appeal
While best-known at the time for their executive saloons and GTs, BMW was flying so high by the early 1990s that its engineers could turn their hands to just about anything - including a two-seater convertible sports car.
Launched in 1995, the Z3 was a resounding success. It looked fabulous, was great fun to drive and even featured in a Bond film!
This 1998 example presents very well for its age and is resplendent in a very popular colour combination. It has had just three registered keepers and the vendor’s father acquired it in September 2022. This BMW has evidently been well cared for in recent times as it’s garaged, well presented throughout and fitted with high-quality Avon tyres. The MOT runs until 20th July 2024, so with summer fast approaching, this car is ready to be enjoyed by a new owner.
