Only 64,986 miles! 1999 BMW Z3 M Roadster, C88053
WHY THIS VEHICLE?
Iconic and collectible, this Z3 M Roadster is in excellent condition with only 64,986 miles. Superior care is evident from the first moment you lay eyes on it. The AlphaCars Service Team completed a comprehensive inspection for peace of mind and a complete detail, ensuring even the legendary S52 inline-six engine shines as clean as the factory-original Dakar Yellow paint. This particular Z3 M will not disappoint and is an exceptional opportunity for the next owner.
The 3.2-liter S52 inline-six engine features VANOS variable valve timing and was factory rated at 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, enabling this iconic roadster to sprint from 0-60MPH in just over 5 seconds and offer a driving experience like no other.

CONDITION
The interior and exterior are in fantastic shape, with signs of normal wear for a well-maintained vehicle at this age and mileage. The S52 straight-six engine runs smooth and quiet, and the ZF five-speed manual transmission operates flawlessly. Our detailed video inspection noted some light fading on two wheels and light wear on the driver's seat back. Be sure to watch our detailed video, which closely examines the condition of the interior, exterior, engine, soft top, and cargo compartments.

We go above and beyond the typical pre-owned dealership. We use a sophisticated paint meter tool to test each metal body panel on our vehicles. This allows us to verify that the paint is factory original, or if any paint work has been done, it is of the same high quality as the factory paint.
This level of detail is important to us because we want to ensure that our customers get a quality vehicle that will last. We also want to be transparent about the condition of our vehicles so that our customers can make informed decisions.
