The seller offers for sale a 1998 BMW Z3, a two-seater convertible that embodies the spirit of open-top driving. Powered by a 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a manual transmission, this Z3 offers a balance of agility and comfort. Designed as a lightweight roadster with rear-wheel drive, it provides an enjoyable driving experience on winding roads and highways alike.
Originally purchased by its first owner in 1998. The exterior remains in good condition, with only a minor paint defect (0.5 cm) near the driver’s door edge. The paint still presents well and requires no major correction. The interior features leather seats with minimal signs of wear.
Mechanically, the car is reported to be in good condition. A valid inspection confirms the car’s roadworthiness. In December 2024, the exhaust end muffler was replaced with an original part.
The BMW Z3 debuted in 1995 as the brand’s first modern mass-produced roadster. It gained fame as James Bond’s car in *GoldenEye*, bringing widespread attention to BMW’s stylish two-seater. Developed as a driver-focused alternative to larger BMW models, the Z3 shared its platform with the E36 3 Series but featured a shorter wheelbase for enhanced agility. The lightweight chassis, combined with a variety of engine options, made it a popular choice among enthusiasts.
The Z3’s design drew inspiration from classic European roadsters, incorporating long-hood proportions and a short rear deck. Inside, BMW blended comfort with sportiness, equipping the car with premium materials and driver-oriented controls. Over the years, the Z3 has gained appreciation as a modern classic, offering a mix of everyday usability and engaging performance.
