Supplied new in January 1999 to special order, this last of the pre-facelift narrow body cars boasts a unique individual specification.
Fijian Green was certainly an alternative choice, complimented by blue Nappa leather seats also piped Fijian green. An M-Sport steering wheel, black centre console, traction control and heated seats completed the spec, along with optional Air con and an electric soft-top.
Fire power comes from BMW’s terrific 2.8-litre straight-six engine developing 190bhp mated to the five speed manual transmission. The wheels are big five spoke items that fill the arches and show the car means business. With just 67,000 miles on the clock, the car is barely run in, its history file adequately supporting this low figure by its previous six owners. The car will come with a new MOT in time for the sale.
Good, lower mileage Z3’s have become really good news in recent times as the market wakes up to realise that they represent the last of the real driver's Z cars, before the invasion of the nannying driver aids that have blunted the more modern “Ultimate Driving Mahines”.
