With 6,291 units built, the Z3 M Coupé is one of the most original production BMWs in history. At present, we are convinced that there will not be many in circulation, so seeing one for sale, by auction, is worth counting.
Our main car was assembled in 1998, which means that it is one of the first produced. In addition, only 89 cars were made with the Evergreen exterior color. Of those, only 48 went to the Old Continent.
Yes, you will have already assumed that this unit has European specifications, so it is one of those 48. Therefore, we are talking about a very exclusive sports car, which can be yours through RM Sotheby’s.
Registered for the first time on October 29, 1998, the car was purchased by a customer in the province of Belluno, in northern Italy. It changed hands for the first time in 2002 and was sold to its third owner in 2006.
Currently, the car is in the possession of its fifth owner, who assures that it is “generally well preserved”. In fact, it has been repainted in its original Evergreen color.
Surely you know that under the hood there is a fabulous 3.2-liter engine, with six cylinders in line, that delivers 321 hp at 7,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 350 Nm at 3,250 revolutions. The associated gearbox is a five-speed manual and, of course, the mechanical force is channeled to the rear axle.
Compared to the Z3 roadster, this M version stands out for its sportier set-up and much higher torsional rigidity. Although not immediately successful, this high-performance coupe is one of the most sought-after BMWs of the time.
The performance is outstanding, as it accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in just 5.4 seconds and has a self-limited top speed of 250 km / h. Remember that we are talking about a sports car from the end of the 20th century.
If you are interested in it, RM Sotheby’s online appointment will take place between February 19 and 27. Below, you have the link to be able to bid on this two-seater of just 4.0 meters in length. By the way, if you don’t know the latest from BMW, the M5 CS, here it is on video.
