Now available for auction is this 1997 BMW E36/7 Z3 finished in Bright Red over a black leather interior. Drawing inspiration from the legendary BMW 507 Roadster and the BMW Z1, the Z3 was developed by BMW as a rear-wheel-drive two-seater sports car based on the E36 3-Series platform. This 1997 example was recently acquired by the seller from its original owner who is said to have maintained the car to a very high standard while being driven sparingly, garage kept, and regularly serviced throughout its life. Showing approximately 56k miles on the odometer, this Z3 is now being offered for auction by its second owner out of New York.
This BMW is finished in Bright Red (314) with a black convertible soft top. The Z3 follows the characteristic traits of a BMW roadster, a long hood, short overhangs, and a seating position almost directly above the rear axle. The larger kidney grills, side fender vents, and fender-mounted roundels pay homage to the classic BMW 507. Other exterior details include fog lights, a fixed antenna, and a single polished exhaust outlet. This Z3 rides on factory 16" Style 35 wheels dressed in Nexen tires.
The cabin features black leather upholstery and burled wood accents throughout the dashboard, door panels, and center console. Driver amenities include air conditioning, cruise control, heated power-operated seats, power windows, a hi-fi sound system, and a trunk-mounted 6-CD changer. The seller reports all gauges and accessories to be working properly.
This Z3 is powered by a 1.9L 4-cylinder M44 engine that generates up to 138 horsepower and 133 lb.-ft of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox. Some service records are said to accompany the sale and the seller reports that proper routine maintenance has been observed throughout the lifetime of the vehicle.
This sale will include a set of three keys, owner's manuals, a toolkit, the original window sticker and sales documentation, and a clean title. A well-preserved example of the beloved BMW Z3, this Bright Red roadster presents a great opportunity to get behind the wheel of a future classic.
