You would be for given for jumping to conclusions; that unmistakeable 'clown shoe' silhouette, wide haunches, long nose and splendid BMW straight 6 under the bonnet. But, this is the NOT a BMW Z3M Coupe, it is a fine example of the (much) lesser-spotted 3.0i version.

Available only in LHD, and seldom seen in Europe, figures suggest just 3,853 were manufactured worldwide. In comparison, whilst the Z3M Coupe is considered a rare find in this day and age, well over 6,000 of those were made.
In Topaz Blue only 28 are made, 10 as an automatic and only 7 with a sunroof.

The original German Fahrzeugbrief (registration document) for this low mileage example indicates its beginnings as a 'factory car', registered to BMW AG, Berlin in December 2001. A little over 12 months later, in January 2003, and with approximately 19,500 km recorded, it was purchased by a Brit residing in Germany.

When the owner returned to life in the UK in 2007, he brought the Z3 with him. Following an inspection, plus an MOT (at 29,130 km), the car was UK registered in June 2007.
Ownership has remained within the same family. The original service books (one in German and one English) have several stamps (8 in total), with the most recent carried out in May 2023 at 41,313 km. This service included new spark plugs, a new battery, front brake discs and pads and 4 new Michelin tyres.

The accompanying history folder includes invoices and receipts from both Germany and the UK, TUV Main Inspections and technical check certificates, EC Certificate of Conformity, the original Fahrzeugbrief. 2 keys, valet key and full tool kit, warning triangle, first aid kit and fire extinguisher. The Z3 is a fulll EU spec car with LHD headlights and kilomters odo.
