Ive been on the look out lately for a z3 for my dad who is always admiring my z4 . Acquired a lovely one yesterday and must say I'm quite impressed with the drive even though its a 1.9 . Gear change was silky smooth and it pulled well though all the gears . My Dad is 78 and he's getting on like a child at christmas . Paid £1900 for this one owner 70k miles with hardtop included . Smashing looking rust free car which i believe can only go up in price .20170408_174840.jpg
 
Nice looking car and good price, a lot of car for the money. Is that the 140bhp version ? Like our Z4's it will need lots of ongoing maintenance and little fixes but no depreciation. Happy days !! :thumbsup: :D
 
Not sure of the bhp but its enough for him . Drives like a racing go-kart though . Hopefully get classic insurance sorted and we will be back together at the car shows again . Must have viewed six of them and sills seem to be the big issue . had almost gave up my search when this came along , great to see my Dad smiling :)
 
I have had a couple of z3's really enjoyed driving them, loving the colour of yours
 
Looks a nice example and a prefacelift with the twin cam 140bhp engine, the facelift which I had BMW changed the engine to an 8V single cam 118bhp engine in April 99. Unsure why BMW went a little backwards engine wise although I found it very smooth and nippy for a 4cyl so long as you used the revs. Mines been gone 6 weeks now, I'm missing the looks and just because it was a Z3, I don't miss the ride so much now though which felt archaic looking back harking back to the 80s and the stooping down to get in it :lol: The front and rear of the sills can start to rust badly as a bit of a mud trap but no rust is a sign of a cared for car.

They're good cars to tinker with.

Great car, I had one in the same colour and engine size, its the classic 007 one and I still keep a model of one as a reminder.
Hope your Dad enjoys, getting in and out was my only problem.
