This BMW Z3 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1996 BMW Z3 1.9 is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over Tanin Red leather and is powered by a 1.9-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission. It is equipped with a black convertible soft top, 16″ Style 35 alloy wheels, heated seats, a cassette stereo, cruise control, and air conditioning. The car was fitted with a replacement clutch assembly before being listed on BaT in June 2022, and it was acquired by the selling dealer in 2025. This Z3 has 17k miles and is now offered at no reserve with an owner’s manual, service records, a clean Carfax report, and an Indiana title.
