The Appeal

Much as we love the big-engined Z3s, for a car to use economically and every day, the 2L straight six model is the obvious choice for its decent power and that smooth M52 powertrain. Not that this car has been over-used - it has been limited to dry summer use and amassed just 49,000 miles.

Most of that use has been by the current keeper who acquired it in 2008. He tells us that this Titan Silver car has been maintained without concern for the expense. Recent work has included a new coil pack and battery. As you might expect of a low-mileage car, it presents well with a particularly well-kept black leather interior. There are some nice upgrades including those 17in alloys, chrome roll hoops and 'angel eye' headlights.

With a current MOT to March 2027, this low-mileage six-cylinder roadster is ready to go.

The vendor says:

"The car drives really well; it's a nice cruiser, even better on a sunny day with the top down. I was hoping the car would stay in the family but unfortunately it's time to sell. Friends comment that the Z3 is like it just came out of the showroom."
