1997 BMW Z3 Convertible

Description

So I’ve been driving this 1997 BMW Z3 for a few years now, and honestly, it’s one of the best bits of driving fun I’ve ever had. It’s a 1.9 petrol, automatic, and it’s actually quite quick for a little convertible — smooth, responsive, and just loads of fun to drive, even on the daily commute.

I bought it because I’ve always wanted to drive one, and now that I do, I’m letting it go. It’s been kept in a dry garage in llanybydder, Carmarthenshire, mostly just doing short drives — never been out of cover, so it’s been well protected. That’s probably why it’s in such good shape, with only a few miles in the last five years.

The car’s been properly looked after over the years — lots of service history, and it had a recent one. The interior’s clean and tidy, seats are spotless with no scuffs or tears. The roof is manual, works fine, and closes smoothly. Bodywork is mostly pristine, just a few light marks here and there.

I’ve got matching tyres — they’re nearly brand new — and the wheels are in great condition too. The gearbox shifts perfectly, no roughness at all. It’s got LED lights I believe were upgraded recently, and the personalised plate will stay with it. V5 is in my name.

I’m not selling it because I don’t need it — I just want to get it off my hands and maybe someone else can enjoy it as much as I have. It’s been a real joy to drive, especially in the auto mode.

I’ve got it insured until 28th February 2026, with only one advisory. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to chat — just message me on my number below. No pressure, just a bit of honesty about what I’ve got and what it’s been like to drive.

Let me know if you’d like to see it — I’m happy to arrange a quick view. Cheers!
