Description
Sold with the V5C, key, service book.
We have got used to it now, but when BMW’s Z3 Roadster first came out in 1996 it caused something of a stir.
Quite unlike anything else in the Munich firm’s line up, it was styled by Joji Nagashima in BMW’s Californian design studio and had lots of ‘wind-in-the-hair’ attitude.
Just fitted with a new battery it is up and running.
It has been sat since 2018 in storage.
The service book has 12 stamps up to 105,000 in 2017.
