Highlights

Finished in the unusual and distinctive Fiji Green
Equipped with a manual gearbox
Convertible soft top roof in good condition
Will come with a new MOT

The Appeal

While they’ve long been known and loved for great saloons, BMW have for some time now proved their worth as a convertible sports car manufacturer. Here we have one of their most accomplished creations, a Z3.

Resplendent in the striking hue of Fiji Green, this Z3 cannot help but stand out from the crowd. With BMW’s 1.9-litre four cylinder engine and a five-speed manual gearbox, it’s a great car to drive as well.

It hasn’t been used a great deal in recent years, so it’s up to the next owner to drop the roof, and head out on the open road.

The plastics have faded a little, most notably on the steering wheel
It appears a small piece is missing from the top of the gear selector

The Exterior

Fiji Green paintwork
Besides some slight kerbing on a couple of them, the five-spoke alloy wheels present well
Both the paint and bodywork appear to have been carefully looked after
There appear to be few noticeable marks overall, although we noted a blemish on the rear bumper
The front number plate is slightly cracked
The soft top roof apparently operates smoothly and appears in really nice shape

The Mechanics

Five-speed manual gearbox
Slight corrosion to the engine’s aluminium components
The vendor informs us that it starts well and drives nicely

Z3s make wonderful sports cars with great styling, tractable engines and excellent handling. This looks to be a really nice example and we’re sure the next owner will be very pleased with it.
