Description
Year: 1999 Make: BMW Model: Z3 Coupé 2.8 Automatic Registration: S298 AJL
Chassis No: WBACK51D90LC98369
Engine No: M52
Odometer: 69,000 The BMW Z3 Coupé 2.8 Automatic represents one of the marque’s most distinctive modern classics.
Combining the long-bonnet proportions of the Z3 with the practicality and rigidity of the rare ‘shooting brake’ coupé body, the model has become increasingly sought-after by enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Powered by BMW’s smooth and responsive 2.8 litre inline six-cylinder engine producing approximately 193bhp, this example is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels.
Inside, the cabin features BMW’s driver-focused cockpit layout with supportive sports seating, clear instrumentation and practical luggage space beneath the rear hatch.
The compact proportions, rear-wheel-drive balance and charismatic straight-six soundtrack combine to create a highly engaging modern classic experience.
