Description
First registered in May 1998, this Z3 M Roadster has been well cared for by its current owner who’s enjoyed the vehicle for the past 11 years. Originally from the UK, it came across to Jersey in 2009 and has covered 96,069 miles from new.
The exterior of the car is presented in the iconic Estoril Blue metallic colour scheme, which is in very good condition over all with only minor, general use related blemishes of note. The electric blue hood is in excellent condition with no rips or tears and in perfect working order; the rear screen has aged very well and remains clear and crack free.
Moving inside, the black and blue theme continues with the seats, dashboard, door cards and centre console. The heated seats do show expected age-related wear, with the driver’s seat base also having a crack across the centre; the rest of the cabin is well presented and provides an engaging environment. The owner notes the clock is currently not working and the indicator does not self-cancel. The car’s audio system has been swapped for an aftermarket Pioneer head unit.
Under the bonnet and at the heart of this Z3 M Roadster is the characterful ‘S50B32’ straight-six engine also found in the E36 M3 Evo and offers a purist driving experience with few electronic aids. Producing 317bhp, drive is delivered to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
It comes with a well documented service history, the last of which was complete by Ruellans Garage in 2022; it’s covered less than 2,000 miles since. The 17-inch five spoke silver alloy wheels have some small curb marks with the Continental tyres retaining a decent amount of tread.
This BMW Z3 M Roadster combines a desirable colour scheme with a high-revving, naturally aspirated soundtrack and a rewarding analogue driving experience. A sought-after modern classic, its stands as an entertaining companion for spirited open-top drives or weekend road trips.
