About this car

The Z3 M Coupé is the quirky shooting-brake take on BMW M's late-1990s roadster, pairing the 3.2-litre straight-six with a five-speed manual and rear-wheel drive. This right-hand-drive 2000 (V-plate) car is rated at 316 bhp and 5.4 seconds to 62 mph, and it has covered just 16,900 miles.

It is finished in Cosmos Black metallic over an Imola Red Nappa leather interior, a combination that suits the car's compact, wide-hipped shape. Factory equipment includes a power glass sunroof, heated M sports seats, air conditioning, a Harman Kardon hi-fi and electrically adjustable, heated mirrors.

The dealer describes the car as original, and the mileage is unusually low for a 26-year-old M car. The page doesn't give a registration or the number of previous owners.
