Chassis no. D42486 was originally supplied on the 16th of July 1997 by Autohaus Timmermans GMBH to its first and sole private owner. This owner has kept the car for 27 years straight, when we sourced and purchased it in December 2024 making it a real 1 owner car from new. This Z3 was specified with the right optional extra's and in the superb shade of MontrealBlau 297 Metallic over a Black Oregon full leather upholstery. The superb spec is futher enhanced by an original (non reproduction) and rare set of Alpina 17" wheels and near new Hankook tires. The factory optionlist consists of the following amongst others:

• 0530 Klimaanlage
• 0302 Alarmanlage
• 0550 Bordcomputer
• 0658 BMW Business CD RDS
• 0314 Aussenspiegel/Fahrerschloss beheizt
• 0354 Gruenkeil-Frontscheibe
• 0423 Fussmatten in Hochflor-Velours
• 0438 Edelholzausfuehrung Hochglaenzend
• 0494 Sitzheizung Fuer F+B
• 0676 HIFI Aktiv-Lautsprechersystem
• 0704 Sportfahrwerk M
• 0388 Stoffverdeck Schwarz

Today this Z3 has covered a mere 28.500 km's from new, which are fully documented with service and TÜV records. The last full service was carried out by Autohaus Gentz of Langenfeld at 27.884 km. The Z3 presents entirely in 1st paint throughout (a real anomaly) and presents in stunning near-new condition, corresponding with its mileage. Also the interior presents near-spotless and it speaks for itself that all electrics and accessories work as they should just as the Sony radio that is currently installed in the car. We decided to leave this radio in as it supports easy Bluetooth pairing to any mobile phone (for media & calls) to make longer journeys that much more enjoyable. For the purists however, the original BMW Business radio is also still present. Needless to say (but we say it anyway) that all original accessories, complete toolkit, spare keys, booklets and a dedicated historyfile containing all service records and TÜV reports are present. If a Z3 is on your watchlist, it simply does not get any better than this example right here.

Bite-Size:

A true "above and beyond" example at a very interesting pricepoint. An opportunity not to be missed.
