Description

This NZ-new 1997 BMW Z3 2.8 Roadster is a beautifully kept example of BMW’s iconic two-seat convertible, delivering genuine driving enjoyment. Equipped with the highly sought-after 2.8L straight-six engine and a 5-speed manual gearbox, it’s an ideal choice for enthusiasts.

The car has been exceptionally well maintained and drives reliably. There are absolutely no oil or coolant leaks – unusually clean and dry for a BMW of this era. All mechanical components operate as they should, and the overall condition is excellent.

The electric soft-top still works reliably, opening and closing smoothly – a real bonus on a car of this age. With the roof down, you can fully appreciate the classic roadster experience.

Aside from the radio, the car remains completely factory original, with no modifications.

Features:

2.8L straight-six petrol engine with a distinctive, classic BMW sound

5-speed manual transmission for an engaging drive

Timeless roadster styling with signature side gills

NZ-new with clear and traceable history

Strong mechanical condition and proven long-term reliability

Completely stock/unchanged except for the radio

The Z3 has become a desirable modern classic, valued for its precise handling and unmistakable BMW driving feel. Its appreciation trend is well recognised, and clean examples like this are getting harder to find.

If you’re interested in viewing the car or have any questions, feel free to get in touch.
