"With the right expertise, this car could be really great again."

Description

This BMW Z3 was purchased by the current owner in Stockholm in March 2021 as an impulse buy because it was right-hand drive. The owner thought it would be fun to drive on the small roads back home. It was driven home and taken into the garage, and the Z3 then ended up parked at the back among the owner's other cars. There is no documentation for the car, but it appears to have had a tough life with various damages here and there. The car is in need of renovation and an overhaul of the engine, brakes, and more. Currently, the engine overheats when driving, so it is now stationary.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is worn and slightly dirty. The driver's seat backrest has been repaired, see picture.

  • Exterior condition:

    The exterior of the car is in a worn condition. There is rust in areas such as hinges and fender edges, but also in other places, as shown in pictures. The body has a number of small dents, bumps, and scratches, see pictures. The paint is in a worn state. The condition of the soft top indicates that it should be replaced. The side mirrors are broken but appear to have been repaired with putty. The car is equipped with new tires in 2023.

  • General condition:

    With love, time, and expertise, this car can be given a new life as a fine and fresh BMW. Overall, the car has a significant need for renovation.

Facts about the model

The Z3 was introduced as a response, or as part of a sweeping trend, following Mazda's success with the Miata (especially in the USA), which demonstrated a demand for a classic, affordable, and straightforward two-seater sports car in the model lineup. The engine options were numerous, depending on the market, and in the most important market, the USA, models were exclusively offered with a classic inline six-cylinder engine. In the European market, as with the auctioned car, the four-cylinder models were also sold. The Z3 was manufactured in a newly built factory outside Spartanburg in South Carolina, marking it as the first BMW model to be produced exclusively outside of Germany.
