engine. It was delivered new to David C. at Classic BMW in Dallas,
Texas on April 30, 1998 with 2,161 miles on the clock. Dressed in
Estoril Blue Metallic, the car?s paint and trim are in overall
excellent order. The droptop?s bodywork is straight and solid, its
body-colored bumpers fit tightly to the body, the engine bay is
extremely tidy, the battery appears new, the glass is intact and
clear, and the lights look fresh. The black, power-folding soft top
is three years old and is very good overall shape. This car rolls
on Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3 radials in front, size 225/45ZR17 and
Sumitomo Tour Plus LSW radials in back, size 225/45ZR17. Each one
is mounted to a factory alloy wheel. The tires are in very good
order while a couple of the alloys evidence a bit of road rash.
Under the hood is 3.2L, DOHC, 24-valve straight six engine with a
single VANOS (variable valve timing) (code S52) breathing through
quad exhausts and with a 10.5:1 compression ratio. Backing this
motor is a ZF Type C five-speed manual transmission and a 3.23:1
limited-slip rear differential. The differential has a maximum
locking of 25 percent is standard. Driver convenience features
include air-conditioning, cruise control, power rack-and-pinion
steering, power four-wheel disc brakes with cross-drilled rotors in
front, heated bucket seats and sideview mirrors and M Leather
Steering Wheel. Safety equipment includes dual front airbags,
driver and passenger side airbags, anti-lock brakes and a pop-up
rollover bar with green windscreen shade. Inside, the car has a
rare Estoril Blue and Black Nappa Leather interior with sport seats
that are heated. The color looks great and the seats are in overall
great shape. The black carpet complements the seats? appearance.
The three-spoke M Leather Steering Wheel looks fantastic while the
black and blue instrument panel has full instrumentation and is in
overall very good order, as are the matching inner door panels,
however there is a noticeable blemish on the passenger inside door
skin. The center console and shift are ready to roll and a Harmon
Kardon AM/FM stereo with cassette deck and a six-disc CD changer in
the trunk. The Z3 M Roadster was introduced in 1996 as the
high-performance version of the BMW Z3. Cosmetic differences
between the Z3 M and the standard Z3 models included front and rear
bumpers, gills, boot and mirrors. Convertible competition to this
BMW in 1998 included Acura?s NSX, Aston Martin?s DB7 Volant?,
Chevrolet?s Corvette, Mercedes-Benz?s SL 320, Porsche?s 911 Carrera
