Lot 61
 

1999 BMW M3 Evolution Convertible
Well-serviced cherished example supplied with factory hard-top

Registration – N8 KBS

Chassis No. – WBSBK92050EX66998

M.O.T. – August 2026

Odometer – 91,500

The vendor informs us that this highly appealing 1999 example presents smartly in the iconic Estoril Blue finish and has clearly been cherished by its previous owners. Showing 91,500 miles and accompanied by an MOT valid until August 2026, it is offered with six former keepers recorded. The car sits well on its original forged M double-spoke alloy wheels and is supplied with its factory hard-top, providing both year-round usability and the desirable coupé profile when required.

Inside, the cabin retains its original black leather sports seats, which remain comfortable and supportive, along with climate control, onboard computer, and a later Sony head unit. The interior appears clean and largely original, and the vendor reports that the car starts, runs and drives well, with the engine pulling strongly and the gearbox operating as expected. The S50 straight-six engine bay presents neatly, showing the correct induction system and factory components in place. The soft-top has been replaced with a new replacement and operates as it should.

One of the strengths of this particular example is its paperwork. Accompanying the car is an extensive service history file, including the fully stamped BMW service book showing entries from the pre-delivery inspection, the 1,200-mile running-in service, and a long sequence of main-dealer and specialist stamps thereafter. The record shows consistent servicing at sensible intervals, with stamps at 2,630, 6,910, 14,461, 30,378, 39,344, 55,079, 66,542, 77,273, 82,708 and 88,294 miles, among others. In addition, there are numerous invoices, receipts, MOT certificates, photographs and correspondence demonstrating careful upkeep across its life. The boot also contains handbooks, manuals and a folder of maintenance documents.

Launched as the final and most developed version of the straight-six generation, the Evolution models gained revised VANOS, improved torque delivery and subtle chassis refinements. Widely praised for their balance, usability and performance, these cars remain one of BMW’s most engaging open-top M models, combining the marque’s motorsport heritage with long-distance touring comfort.

  • Extensive service history with BMW dealer and specialist stamps throughout

  • Supplied with factory hard-top and presented in desirable Estoril Blue

  • Well-maintained example showing 91,500 miles with MOT to August 2026
