The car on offer here, chassis no. LD44183, was originally produced on the 8th of July 1997 and first registered on the 19th of August that year. The Z3 was originally delivered by official BMW dealer Gubin of Wattenscheid, nearby Bochum in Nordrhein-Westfalen. It is noteworthy to state the Z3 has been serviced according to its annual service plan by the supplying dealer for its entire life, something you rarely see these days. The car is virtually 1 owner from new, as the first private owner was a family member of the last business owner it was registered to.

The car has been specified from new in the rare and desirable colour of Boston-Grün 275 metallic over a Moos-Grün full leather interior with a manual gearbox and that sweet M52 N/A straigth six! The list with factory options is vast; electrically folding roof mechanism (very rare!), M sports suspension, 25% locking differential, seat heating, hardtop in Boston-Grün, Rollover protection system, Velours Grün floor mats, Fog lights, A/C and more. Today, the car has a warranted 93.500 km's from new and presents in mint condition throughout, thanks to careful garaging from new and avoidance of salty roads. All original accessories are still present with the car today under which the original and complete toolkit, aforementioned hardtop, wind deflector system for the roll hoops, tonneau cover and even the original medical kit is still unused to date! It goes without saying two original keys and all original booklets are presents as well, together with a dedicated history file with all documents and history. The car is currenty suited with German export documents but can be registered in the Netherlands as well for the Dutch customers.

This well-serviced and carefully kept Z3 presents stunning and drives the part too. The engine and VANOS system are buttersmooth and pull very strongly - it is an absolute event to drive! The ZF 5-speed shifts wonderfully and the clutch has plenty of bite too, this Z3 needs for nothing really. The Michelin tires are near new as well. This Z3 is totally ready for a new owner to enjoy her as intended in the forthcoming driving season! A nice feature is that this exact car was part of the June 2022 edition of the famous German magazine: Classiccars. A vast 6 page article was dedicated to the BMW Z3 Roadster and this specimen in particular was utilised as reference car. We can't think of a more fitting testament to its originality and overall quality than that really...

Bite-size:

There's Z3's and there's this. If a 2.8L Z3 is on your list, this has to be the car. Especially at that price!
