Based on the E36 chassis, the Z3 was developed by BMW as a rear-wheel-drive two-seater sports car and was the first mass-produced Z-Series model following the Z1. Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over a Black and Tanin Red Oregon leather interior, this 1996 example comes equipped with a 1.9L inline 4-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. This meticulously maintained roadster is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Ohio while showing approximately 64k miles on the odometer.

The Z3 follows the characteristic traits of a BMW roadster with its long hood, short overhangs, and seating position just above the rear axle. The prominent kidney grilles, side vents, and fender-mounted roundels pay homage to the BMW 507. This example comes finished in Arctic Silver Metallic (309) with a black convertible soft top and rides on factory 16” Style 35 wheels dressed in Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 XL tires reported to be in new condition. Other details include front fog lights, a fixed-position antenna, and a single exhaust outlet. The seller notes minor signs of road wear, and detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.

The seller adds that a windscreen has also been installed.

Power is provided by an M44B19 1.9-liter inline 4-cylinder engine, sending as much as 138 HP to the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission shared with the outgoing 3 Series at the time. The strut front suspension is also shared with the model, along with the previous 3 Series’ rear semi-trailing-arm design suspension, while stopping is performed by four-wheel disc brakes with ventilated front rotors. The seller adds that a collection of service records will accompany the sale, and highlights the following items:
