Car is coming to Retro Rides Gathering, I’ll bring the V5 with me, drive it away!
Not an ideal time to sell a convertible admittedly but I’m running out of space, so here we are.

The wordy bit:
Had this Z3 for a little bit, it’s been a great car to rip around in. M44 engine loves to rev out, it’s not quick but that makes it more fun in a way! Think the little 4 cylinder suits the cars nature more than a big 6 cylinder, lighter on its feet and cheaper to fuel to boot. Doesn’t leave an oily mark after being parked so that’s not bad for a 25 year old BMW. Gear change is rewardingly tight, clutch works well but is a little high. Suspension is starting to show its age, fairly usual E30/Z3 stuff.
Bodywork is presentable, cleans up nice but the odd mark and your stereotypical have a go hero paint brush touch up. The dark green paint is great, different to your usual Boston in that it’s non-metallic. Metal side skirts are beginning to rust on the ends but not starting to let the car down.
Inside the leather is in good condition, and the rest of the plastics are clean. Roof is about as watertight as I’d expect one to be, sat outside in the recent heavy rain storms we had just fine. Manual roof means no worrying about it breaking. No major marks or damage, rear window has the usual scuff on the centre but is in good condition other than that with no hard creases in.
Overall a great little car, be a shame to see it go but needs must and other projects to pay attention to.
Price - £2250 ONO
Better photos coming, any questions don’t hesitate to ask!
