Our Take:
- The BMW Z3 Coupe from 1999 is a bit of a rare bird, isn't it? This model had a limited production run, and its funky "Clown Shoe" design (as some enthusiasts lovingly call it) makes it quite the collectible. It's not every day you see one with an automatic transmission; most folks went for the manual stick shift back in the day.
- Under the hood lies the M52 inline-six engine, a staple of BMW's engineering prowess in the late '90s. This 2.8-liter powerplant was known for delivering smooth power and reliability, a big reason why BMW's straight-six engines have such a devoted following. It might not have the fire-breathing nature of the M-series motors, but it’s got its own charm—like a strong, silent type.
- This particular car has been cherished like a family heirloom, with just one owner for the last 20 years. Never seeing a night under the stars (it's always garaged), it's like a well-preserved artifact from the turn of the millennium. The immaculate service records and recent alternator update suggest it's been pampered more than a poodle at a dog show.
- The upgraded BMW M wheels are a noteworthy detail for enthusiasts, especially with their stylish two-tone powder-coat finish. Combined with those sticky TOYO PROXES 4+ tires, they promise both impressive grip and a head-turning stance. Throw in the all-original black interior with wood trim and a sunroof, and you've got yourself a cabin that genuinely sings an elegant tune from the late '90s.
