Description
Showing just 62,726 miles;
service history file comprising 13 stamps; 2.8i 6 cylinder wide body; manual
transmission
This 1999 BMW Z3 2.8i is
presented in striking metallic silver with a contrasting red leather interior
and a black hood, offering a timeless specification that perfectly captures
late-1990s BMW styling. First registered in April 1999 and showing just 62,726
miles, this example has had 10 former keepers and benefits from careful use,
having reportedly been garaged and driven only in dry
conditions.
Under the bonnet sits BMW’s
renowned 2.8-litre straight-six engine, paired with a desirable 5-speed manual
transmission. The engine delivers smooth, responsive performance accompanied by
the unmistakable sound that has made these six-cylinder Z3s increasingly sought
after by enthusiasts. On site, the vehicle has been driven for photography and
video purposes, where it started, stopped, and drove exactly as
expected.
This example was well
specified from the factory, featuring 17-inch round spoke alloy wheels, electric
hood operation, sports seats, heated seats, an onboard computer, heated door
mirrors, and the BMW Business CD RDS system. The red leather interior remains a
standout feature, complemented by heated seating for added comfort, while the
original black hood is reported to be in good condition and free from
leaks.
The car is supplied with an
MOT valid until July 2026, with no advisories noted on the current certificate.
Accompanying the vehicle are 10 previous MOT certificates along with a service
history file comprising 13 stamps, the most recent service recorded in July 2022
at 61,753 miles. The original handbook is present, alongside a selection of
invoices documenting maintenance carried out over the
years.
With low mileage, a strong
service record, and an increasingly desirable specification, this BMW Z3 2.8i
represents an appealing entry point into modern classic ownership. Combining
open-top motoring with the characterful performance of BMW’s straight-six
engine, it offers both enjoyment and future collectability in equal
measure.
