The Appeal

We'd consider the sleek, round-nosed Z3 roadster one of the most interesting of the modern BMWs, and thanks to its willing six-cylinder engine and engaging, dynamic chassis, it's certainly one of the most rewarding to drive. A real modern classic, and one that's increasingly popular.

This particular Z3 was purchased new from North Oxford BMW, and has been in the same ownership ever since. Always garaged and stored undercover, the vendor reports that it runs and drives as it did when first purchased. This is a handsome, honest roadster with a long MOT ahead of it, and we're sure it'll prove a fine addition to your fleet.
