Here is an opportunity that may never come your way again, to buy yourself one of the rarest BMW Z3s you will ever see. This example is finished in Turquoise, which many people may have never seen this colour before on a BMW, but it was a factory colour that was unique to the Z3. You may even go as far to say it was not very popular at the time, but as we know the rarer the car at the time, the more desirable it is now. There is always the saying ‘find another one’, but chances are you won’t. The Z3 was supplied new by Royal Ascot Garages BMW on 1/8/1997 to its first owner, who obviously had an eye for individuality, which we are grateful for, as it presents us with the chance to admire this super machine. Being registered when it was makes this a very early example, which again helps with its desirability.

Along with the colour, the specification is rather special. It has contrasting green leather and carpets finished with burr walnut trim and steering wheel, again a very rare and expensive option that were often done by the BMW dealer. It sits on a set of Z Star alloy wheels, unique to the Z3, has the very rare option of being an automatic - almost all Z3s at the time were ordered as manual - and has an upgrade of a Pioneer music system. A nice touch.

But here’s the best bit, it comes with its original book pack with all the relevant literature that came from BMW along with a service book containing 22 stamps, which backs up the recorded 64,000 miles - 15 are from BMW main dealers and the others are from a well-known BMW specialist. A fantastic history! It also has a selection of past MOTs, which sit very nicely with the fresh MOT valid until January 2027, and some invoices. It has only had 3 previous owners from new.

The Z3 comes to us very reluctantly from a very high-end collection, and is only coming to market due to relocation When you see it, you will understand - the condition, the amazing history and specification- but from a rarity point of view, it is almost completely unique. Without doubt, this will stand out at any show or club meeting, and is guaranteed to create conversation and admiration in equal amounts. To get a Z3 like this is one of the rarest opportunities available. Whether you are a collector or BMW enthusiast, you need this in your life.
