*Presenting well
*Hard- and soft-tops
*Ideal colour combination

The Z3 came with a choice of engines but many find the 2.0-litre offers the best combination of lively performance and reasonable running costs. This 2000 example has very good bodywork and metallic silver paint and it comes with the factory hardtop. Under the bonnet all is very clean and tidy. The black leather interior is in fine fettle, the seats, dashboard, carpet and door cards showing little wear. Mechanically all is very good: the engine starts and runs well and the running gear is in generally very good order. Please note: The vendor says the central locking is not working, which could be the result of a new battery being fitted. He hopes it will be rectified by the sale.

Offering an affordable, impressive way into a modern classic sports car this 2.0-litre Z3 offers great looks and performance and affordable running costs.
