Description
We are proud to offer this exceptional 1999 BMW Z3 2.8i Wide Body, a highly desirable modern classic powered by BMW's renowned 2.8-litre straight-six engine.
With just 56,446 miles and a full service history, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a low-mileage, well-preserved example that has clearly been maintained to a high standard throughout its life.
The wide body variant is particularly sought after, offering a more aggressive stance and improved road presence compared to lower-spec models. Combined with the smooth and torquey straight-six engine, it delivers the classic BMW driving experience that enthusiasts value.
Recent Major Maintenance
This vehicle has benefited from a comprehensive overhaul within the last year, ensuring it is mechanically prepared for its next owner:
Full brake overhaul
Major service completed
New belts fitted
Water pump replaced
New radiator installed
In addition, the car has been professionally rustproofed, a significant advantage for long-term ownership and preservation.
Condition
This Z3 presents in excellent mechanical condition and drives exactly as a well-maintained, low-mileage example should. The engine is smooth and responsive, the gearbox is precise, and the car feels tight and confidence-inspiring on the road.
A genuine, well-cared-for example not a project, but a car ready to be enjoyed immediately.
Why This Example Stands Out
Desirable 2.8 straight-six engine
Wide body model (enthusiast preferred)
Low mileage - 56,000 miles
Full service history
Recent major mechanical overhaul
Rustproofed for long-term preservation
Investment & Ownership Appeal
The BMW Z3 is increasingly recognised as a modern classic, with clean, low-mileage six-cylinder examples becoming harder to find. This particular car offers a strong combination of specification, condition, and recent maintenance, making it appealing both as an enjoyable weekend car and a potential appreciating asset.

Summary
A rare opportunity to purchase a well-maintained, low-mileage Z3 2.8 Wide Body with the right history, the right engine, and the right preparation ready to be enjoyed or preserved.
