In Brief:

  • Executor sale - owned by The Vendor’s late brother for the past nine years
  • M44B19 1.9-litre inline-four engine

On the Surface:

Finished in Blue with a Black soft top over a Beige leather interior, this 1999 BMW Z3 1.9 Roadster presents as a fair example of BMW’s late 90's open-top two-seater.

Maintenance & History:

This Z3 forms part of an executor sale, having been owned by The Vendor’s late brother for the past nine years. After spending several years stored in a garage without running, the car was brought back to life within the last year or so and returned to roadworthy condition. Recent recommissioning work has ensured that it starts, runs, and drives as it should. While now back in usable condition, there remains scope for further cosmetic improvement — an ideal light project for a hands-on enthusiast. The car is MOT’d until November 2025.

The Model:

Produced from 1995 to 2002, the BMW Z3 range combined classic sports car styling with BMW’s precision engineering. Based on the shortened E36/5 compact platform, it offered a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout that delivered balanced handling and engaging dynamics. In 1999, the Z3 received its facelift (LCI) with a number of subtle exterior updates, including chrome-ringed headlights, L-shaped taillights, a wider rear track, and revised trim details. This example is powered by the M44B19 1.9-litre inline-four engine producing 138 bhp.

Sale Insight:

An executor sale, this BMW Z3 1.9 Roadster provides a sound entry point into classic BMW ownership. A great opportunity for an enthusiast to refine and enjoy one of BMW’s best-loved modern classics.
