"When the director of design at BMW first saw the coupé version of the Z3, there was a long silence, not least because this was 'mocked-up' by a handful of dedicated designers during evenings and weekends. Like the GT6 and MGBGT, two acknowledged influences, this wasn't just a convertible with a hardtop. The entire chassis was redesigned, the roof lengthened, more power added and finer, under the skin details, The M Coupé was voted by Top Gear magazine as one of 'the 149 Coolest Cars Ever'. Presented in what many believe is the most desirable colour combination of Estoril Blue with black leather and blue inserts, this impressive S50 Z3M Roadster has covered a mere 58,000 miles from new. Our vendor has owned the car since 2013 and professes to have yearned for the flagship Z3 ever since he saw one in the local BMW showroom. He found this after a tireless search for an enthusiast owned example.

This example of this BMW is presented in very good order throughout and given the low mileage is certainly a sought after car.
