Garaged over the winter months during current ownership (since 2014)
Comprehensive and well-documented service history
Offered in very good overall condition for its age
Just 66,643 miles
The Appeal
In today’s age of platform sharing and badge engineering, the chances are we’ll never see a car so bold as the Z3 from BMW again. And that’s a shame as the Z3 was something totally new for the firm - a svelte two-door roadster quite unlike BMW’s saloon offerings at the time.
This 2002 example is in very good condition for its age, thanks to a comprehensive service history and the mere 66,643 miles on the odometer. The vendor has owned the car since November 2014 and has ensured it’s kept garaged during the winter months. The car been serviced at regular intervals throughout its lifetime, with the most recent garage invoices dating from May 2024. The current MOT runs until April 2025.
