BMW Z3 1.8 '96

• BMW Z3 1.8 from 1996
• 1,796 cc four-cylinder engine with 116 hp
• 5-speed manual transmission
• Indicated mileage of 134,597 km
• Good original, unrestored condition

The BMW Z3 became one of the most recognisable compact roadsters of the 1990s. Rear-wheel drive, a low seating position and the classic long bonnet provide the typical BMW roadster experience.

This example was first registered on 22 May 1996 and is finished in BMW Schwarz II, colour code 668/9. The car is in good original, unrestored condition and has an indicated mileage of 134,597 km. The body and interior have been well preserved, showing normal signs of use in keeping with the car’s age.

The body is original and in good condition. The paint remains in its original colour and shows normal signs of use. The underside is also original and presents in a good, honest condition. The soft top is original and well preserved, while the carpets are in very good condition.

Technically, this Z3 presents well. The engine is in good, honest condition and has been properly maintained. The clutch and 5-speed manual transmission work well, as do the brakes, handbrake, axles and suspension. During an extensive test drive, the car made an excellent impression: it drives very well, shifts smoothly and brakes strongly.

This BMW Z3 is now more than 30 years old and can qualify for classic car status in Belgium. In Flanders, vehicles aged at least 30 years benefit from specific flat-rate classic car taxation. With a Belgian O-plate and the required registration, classic cars over 30 years old can also access the Flemish LEZ zones of Ghent and Antwerp.

Our Oldtimerfarm inspection team has prepared an expert report for this car.
