We believe this must be one of the best BMW Z3 Roadsters in the country. With just 21,200 miles on the clock, it really is in nearly-new condition. The first owner was an elderly gentleman who never used the car in the rain during his 13-year ownership (there is a letter confirming this, and we have no reason to doubt it). The second owner was just as pedantic and cherished the vehicle to ensure it remained perfect. We then sold it two years ago to its third owner, a regular customer of ours, who has maintained the car in the same condition.

Finished in Titanium Silver Metallic with Black Chameleon leather interior, the BMW boasts a great specification, including a BMW Business CD RDS head-unit, heated Sports seats, Oregon Leather upholstery. M Sport steering wheel and Matt Chrome handbrake cover and gearknob.

The car retains its original toolkit, first aid kit and even a set of BMW tissues. There are two keys (one in a BMW leather pouch) plus a valet key. There is even an unused keyring and tax-disc holder from the supplying dealer.

The BMW comes with an astonishingly well-documented main-dealer service history, with the last service in May 2020. It also has a SkyTag tracking device fitted. Any work required over the years has been done, including replacement front brake calipers, discs and pads in 2017, and four new Continental Sport Contact tyres in 2016 (because of their age rather than any wear). Every job done, part bought and even the times the car was taxed (never over the winter) has been recorded by the last owner and kept meticulously filed in a massive folder.

This Z3 (and its history file) really has to be seen to be believed. It is a true collector’s item and a joy to behold.

Philip Raby says: “It’s rare to find a Z3 that hasn’t been messed around with and is this astonishingly original. It’s a lot of fun to drive, too, with a traditional front-engined feel and a real solidity about it. It is an affordable and fun classic.”
