The Gold Cup Classic & Performance Car Auction
1998 BMW Z3M
***NO RESERVE***Cherished example from long-term ownership with only 54,000 miles from new
Registration - S863 NNH
Chassis No. - WBSCK92050LB06463
M.O.T. - May 2025
Odometer - 54,000
This discreet 1998 BMW Z3M roadster, finished in classic silver with an Imola red nappa leather interior, is a real connoisseur’s choice. Powered by the exceptional 3.2-litre S52 engine, the odometer reads just 54,000 miles, and it is being offered with a generous MOT that doesn’t expire until May 2025. The vendor says the car was privately imported from Germany from the manufacturer, after being built as a right-hand drive car. It has the original specification sheet from the factory to validate this. They also report the engine, transmission and electrics, bodywork, paintwork and interior are all in ‘good’ condition.
‘S863NNH’ has a comprehensive service history, by BMW Approved service agents, with just a couple of years missing. The car also comes with all the owner's manuals, stamped-up service books, and three keys – including the rare emergency key. “The car also has loads of invoices of previous work, all stored in a big box folder.” Boasting the classic five-speed manual gearbox, this desirable BMW has other period features including a security-coded Blaupunkt CD player and fully-branded door kickplates. Standard air conditioning and heated seats mean it’s ready for all seasons.
The BMW Z3M roadster and coupe were introduced in 1997, as high-performance derivatives of the retro-inspired Z3 line-up. They boasted a wider rear track, with bulging bodywork that was widened to accommodate the gorgeous ‘Roadster’ wheels. Bespoke front and rear bumpers, and door mirrors, were also fitted, as were quad exhaust tailpipes – but otherwise, the cars were pleasingly understated. Contemporary reviewers found them a delight to drive, mainly thanks to the brilliant engine that was paired with a limited slip differential for an engaging drive on twisty roads. Both models are top tips to be future classics.
In summary:
- Desirable BMW Z3M roadster in classic silver with Imola red leather interior
- Extensive service history including BMW main dealer servicing
- Odometer reads just 54,000 miles
