In Brief:
Fair examples of BMW's early late 90's Roadster
Finished in Blue with a Black soft top over a Beige leather interior
Executor sale - owned by The Vendor’s late brother for the past nine years
M44B19 1.9-litre inline-four engine
On the Surface:
Finished in Blue with a Black soft top over a Beige leather interior, this 1999 BMW Z3 1.9 Roadster presents as a fair example of BMW’s late 90's open-top two-seater.
Maintenance & History:
This Z3 forms part of an executor sale, having been owned by The Vendor’s late brother for the past nine years.
After spending several years stored in a garage without running, the car was brought back to life within the last year or so and returned to roadworthy condition.
Recent recommissioning work has ensured that it starts, runs, and drives as it should.
While now back in usable condition, there remains scope for further cosmetic improvement — an ideal light project for a hands-on enthusiast.
The car is MOT’d until November 2025.
