The British probably invented these things, but cars like this 1999
BMW Z3 are the modern embodiment of the "less is more" philosophy
that makes 2-seat sports cars so special. With two owners, a rare
color combination, and classic good looks, just imagine next summer
with this in your garage.
The color is Evergreen, it was specially ordered on this Z3 and
looks particularly striking on the swoopy 2-seater bodywork. With
just over 48,000 original miles, it remains in excellent shape,
thanks to a combination of quality BMW workmanship and careful
ownership over the past 23 years. The shark-like Z3 still looks
great, the kind of car that makes people stop and watch as it
drives past, and with BMW's legendary build quality, it hasn't lost
a step over the years. Gaps are tight, the aggressive front fascia
is in great shape, and the gills on the front fenders add an
old-school touch. In back, the third brake light is neatly
integrated into the trunk lid, and you'll find that there's a
minimum of add-ons, just a pure, clean shape. If you want a
good-looking sports car that isn't the same-old, same-old, this BMW
delivers.
Those of you who have driven BMWs already know that the interior is
singularly focused on the driver, an environment that works with
you to seamlessly blend man and machine. The tan leather seats are
in outstanding condition and still gently but firmly hold you in
place. The carpets are plush enough to whisper luxury, but
lightweight so they don't slow the car down. Wood grained appliques
on the center console warm things up a bit and the big, round
gauges with chrome rings were obviously influenced by great sports
cars of the past. Everything was standard in the Z3, including A/C,
power windows, seats, and locks, a tilt steering wheel, and cruise
control. Everything works, which shouldn't be a surprise and it
looks fresh, not dated the way a lot of "retro" styled cars seem to
get. There's a dark green canvas top that fits well enough to make
this car "car wash safe" and the trunk is big enough for a few
overnight bags.
BMW's legendary 2.8 liter inline-six lives under the long hood, and
yes, it's as smooth and torquey as you've heard. In the lightweight
Z3, it's positively robust, flinging the lightweight car down the
road with ease. It never grumbles or stumbles, it's always
impeccably smooth, and you'll relish running it through the gears
every chance you get, just for the joy of the machine doing its
work. The 5-speed manual slips through the gears with just a gentle
tug on the knob and the all-independent suspension manages to be
both competent and supple at the same time. The dual exhaust system
gives the six a wonderful tenor voice and a lifetime in warm
climate shows in the clean undercarriage. Big 17-inch alloy wheels
and recent radials give it just the right profile and an upscale
image.
This is first-class BMW performance and luxury at a third-class
price. Where else can you get this much class and performance for
so little cash? Call today!
