A particularly appealing example of BMW’s modern-classic roadster, this 1998 BMW Z3 1.9 is presented in Arctic Silver Metallic over a striking Red leather interior, complemented by a Black soft top. With just 47,876 miles from new it is been in the same ownership since 2018.
A tidy and well-cared-for example it is accompanied by The original BMW service book displays an impressive 12 stamped services plus one handwritten entry, covering maintenance from 14,428 miles in 2000 through to 46,265 miles in 2025, supporting the low mileage. A collection of invoices and old MOT certificates further reinforce the car’s careful upkeep.
Supplied new in 1998, this Z3 has had just four former keepers and has been owned by The Vendor for the last nine years. It is accompanied by its original BMW bookpack, which includes the Owner’s Handbook, Radio Operating Manual, Dealer Warranty Handbook, 1997/1998 Dealership Directory and the original Service Booklet, all of which add to the car’s desirability and originality.
The BMW Z3 was produced from 1995 to 2002 and marked the company’s return to the classic two-seat roadster formula. Built on a shortened E36 platform, the E36/7 Roadster combined traditional sports-car proportions with modern BMW engineering. Early four-cylinder cars, such as this example, were praised for their lighter nose and balanced handling. Power here comes from the 1.9-litre M44B19 inline-four engine, producing 138 bhp, delivering a rewarding and engaging drive with rear-wheel-drive fun.
With low mileage, long-term ownership and an excellent service record, this Z3 represents a very attractive entry into 1990s BMW ownership. Values of well-kept Z3s continue to strengthen as they gain recognition as true modern classics, making this example an ideal choice for enjoyable sunshine motoring.
