BaT Auction: 1999 BMW Z3 2.3 Roadster 5-Speed

This 1999 BMW Z3 roadster is finished in Alpine White over beige leather and is powered by a 2.5-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a retractable black soft top, 16″ alloy wheels, air conditioning, power-adjustable heated seats, cruise control, and a CD stereo. The car was sold on BaT in August 2021, and subsequent service involved fluid changes, an alignment, and replacement of the rear window and tires. This Z3 is offered by the selling dealer in New York with manufacturer’s literature, a window sticker, service records, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean North Carolina title.

The car is finished in Alpine White (300) and equipped with a black soft top that received a replacement rear window in August 2021. Additional exterior details include fog lights, fender vents, and twin exhaust outlets with polished finishers. No accidents are listed on the Carfax report.

Factory 16″ five-spoke alloy wheels wear Goodyear Eagle Sport tires that were installed in August 2021, at which time a four-wheel alignment was performed. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes.

The cabin features seats upholstered in beige leather with matching door panels and carpets as well as wood trim on the dashboard and center console. Amenities include power-adjustable heated seats, cruise control, air conditioning, a BMW Business CD stereo, and a wind deflector.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 155-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer shows 29k miles. The Carfax report lists a mileage inconsistency from February 2002, and true mileage is unknown.

The 2.5-liter M52 inline-six produced 170 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque when new. An oil change was performed in August 2021.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. Work performed in preparation for the sale included changing the transmission and differential fluid.

Manufacturer’s literature, service records, and three keys are included in the sale.

The window sticker shows initial delivery to Bill Defouw BMW in Lafayette, Indiana, factory equipment, and a total price of $33,505.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage, lists the aforementioned mileage inconsistency, and displays registration history in Indiana, North Dakota, Florida, and North Carolina.
