About this car

The Z3 M Roadster pairs the S50 3.2-litre straight-six with a five-speed manual and rear-wheel drive, wrapped in a wide-hipped body with flared rear arches and quad exhausts. It remains one of the more characterful M cars of the 1990s.

This 1998 example is finished in Estoril Blue over black Nappa leather and has covered 60,500 miles with three former keepers. Equipment includes air conditioning, heated electric sports seats, an M Sport multifunction wheel, headlamp washers, a CD changer and a windbreaker. It also has the rare S209 option, a 25% limited-slip differential.

The car has a full service history from main dealers and independent specialists, with the original service book, owner manuals and two sets of keys. Recent work covers new coil packs, injectors and a water pump. The dealer states a new MOT and six months' warranty at sale.
