Described by the seller as a “unicorn” find in the market, this is a low-mileage, well-preserved example of the lauded BMW Z3 M Coupe. Power comes from the 3.2-litre ‘S50’ straight-six, producing 236kW and 350Nm of torque, paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. It is reported to be one of only 26 Z3 M Coupes built by BMW in 1998 (the first year of production), and one of only 28 Australian-delivered cars from the total production run. The odometer shows just 37,969 km (reported to be the lowest km Z3 M Coupe in Australia). Compared to the standard Z3, M models featured a limited-slip differential, a wider track, firmer suspension with a lower ride height, more aerodynamic door mirrors, redesigned front and rear bumpers, revised side vents, a quad-exit exhaust, ‘Style 40’ five-spoke alloy wheels, and larger brakes shared with the E36 M3. This Z3 M Coupe is finished in Estoril Blue over a black and blue leather-trimmed cabin. It rides on the correct set of 17-inch five-spoke ‘Style 40’ alloy wheels, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres. The specification includes an electric sunroof, cruise control, heated sport seats, and air conditioning. Accompanying the vehicle will be the original owner’s manuals, a toolkit, and evidence of its service history. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The engine oil, oil filter, tyres and battery were replaced at around 37,800 km. 11/01/1999. BMW Melbourne 13/02/1999. 1,859 km. BMW Melbourne 07/07/2000. 11,923 km.

BMW Autowerks This is a low mileage example of BMW’s hallowed performance car, blending its distinctive ‘shooting brake’ styling with a muscular and vocal straight-six.
