London
Reluctant Sale – Iconic BMW Z3 2.8L Widebody
Selling due to London ULEZ restrictions. This is a rare, pre-facelift wide-body model with the desirable 2.8L straight-six M52TU all-aluminum engine, featuring double VANOS for improved efficiency and performance.
The cabin boasts the elegant “Chromeline” trim with beige Oregon leather seats and contrasting black carpets. Exterior highlights include chrome side gills and original 17" 5-spoke alloy wheels, giving it a timeless, sporty look.
I’ve owned this car since 2015 and have full service history from that time. Key recent updates include:
– New black convertible hood
– Upgraded radio/CD head unit
– Replacement spare wheel (hard to find!)
– Regular mechanical maintenance as needed
The original 6-CD autochanger remains in the boot, along with the complete factory tool kit under the boot floor. Bodywork and underbody are solid; some cosmetic wear on paint and seats is in line with age (1999 model).
Drives brilliantly and returns 30+ MPG on a run. Comes with 2 keys, a valuable private registration plate (estimated at £1000–£1200), Bentley workshop manual, and BMW Z3 & Z4: The Complete Story by James Taylor.
A beautiful modern classic, ready for summer drives or collector ownership.
