Now up for auction at no-reserve is this 1997 BMW Z3 2.8 Roadster finished in Alpine White over a Sand Beige Oregon leather interior. Based on the E36 platform, the Z3 was developed by BMW as a rear-wheel-drive 2-seater sports car, and this particular example features an optional M52 straight 6-cylinder engine paired with 5-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Representing a truly incredible value, this 1-owner 1997 Z3 is now being offered for auction by its seller in Florida while showing just over 39k miles on the odometer.
The Alpine White finish remains well presented as could be seen in the photo gallery. As a 2.8 model, this Z3 can be distinguished from the standard 4-cylinder version by its wider rear track and dual exhaust tips. Other details include a Dark Beige convertible soft top, front fender vents, and factory 16” Style 18 wheels.
Inside you will find a nicely preserved Sand Beige pebble grain leather interior with fine wood trim on the center console. Factory features include a climate control system, heated and power-operated seats, power windows, a digital clock, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and an AM/FM cassette radio.
For the 1997 model year, the Z3 was first given the option of a more powerful M52 straight-six engine with a displacement of 2.8 L. Approximately 190 HP and 207 lb.-ft of torque is sent to the rear wheels by way of a 5-speed ZF manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
Offered at no-reserve with a clean title and CARFAX, this nicely maintained Z3 Roadster presents an opportunity that is not to be missed.

@Bilinski4447 no! This vehicle is not TMU... you can tell just by looking at the car.
Noticed the Autocheck lists a large mileage discrepancy in 1998? Is this car TMU or was there asn error recording miles in 1998?

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE!
Nice looking car!
It states that there is a dealer fee of $575. Is that in addition to the PCarMarket 5% buyer fee?
As for the car’s condition, what is the tire tread wear and date codes? Break pad remaining life? Last service, including oil change? We’re there any service lights on recently? Does everything on the car work?
What other/accessories are included: Owner’s manuals? Car cover? Tools? etc. Are both key fobs include?
