BMW Z3 1999

Allmän beskrivning : Model History

The M Coupe was first unveiled at the 1997 Frankfurt motor show. As the M-developed version of the Z3 coupe it sported one of three 24-valve six-cylinder engines originally developed by the BMW M Division for the E36/E46 M3. It also had an M-tuned chassis and several unique cosmetic parts including a more aggressive front with brake cooling ducts in place of fog lights, unique side vents with the M logo, curved M door mirrors, a lower rear bumper with four exposed exhaust tips, and a repositioned rear number plate.

The first M Coupes, with engines from the E36 M3, were built from June 2000 with the S50 engine in both LHD and RHD, and with the S52 engine in LHD only. After having been discontinued for more than six months, a revised M Coupe entered production in February 2001.

The interior of the M Coupe featured several unique items that included a chrome-ringed instrument cluster with red needles and an M logo on the tachometer, three auxiliary gauges in the centre console, heated sport seats with special pleated leather trim, a 375mm three-spoke M steering wheel with tri-color stitching and colour-matched accents, an illuminated M leather shift knob with the M logo on the shift pattern, an oval-shaped rear-view mirror, Nappa leather door pulls and centre console trim, chrome interior door handles, and door sill plates with the ‘M’ logo.

Depending on the market and production date, factory options for the M Coupe included side airbags, headlight washers, electric front seats, cruise control, rear partition net and load cover, electric sliding sunroof, various radios, and a Harmon/Kardon audio system.

Exterior

The striking yellow paintwork is a perfect complement to the M Coupe’s distinctive proportions. Looking closer the body is wonderfully glossy all round with few signs of age to report, the worst being a discreet lacquer imperfection on the roof. There are almost no stone chips at the front end, with no signs of any road rash to the voluptuous rear arches. Looking along both sides you’ll find lovely straight panels and a deep shine throughout.

Interior

The heated sports seats are upholstered in supple black Nappa leather, all presenting in fantastic shine-free condition. There’s no marking to any of the gauges or switchgear, and even the driver’s seat bolster is without any significant wear. The immaculate carpets are still protected in the footwells by original velour overmats, and in the boot you’ll find the retractable load cover and dog guard both present. Pleasingly the factory BMW cassette radio is still fitted, this example also boasting the desirable Harman Kardon HiFi upgrade from new.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

The 3.2-litre S50 straight six is a fine powerplant indeed, producing an impressive 321hp at 7,400 rpm and 258 lb/ft of torque at 3,250 rpm. Its raspy exhaust note is intoxicating at high revs and the slick manual gearbox is a perfect accompaniment. The engine bay of this example appears in fine condition following inspection, with no signs of any damage or poor repair. The car also boasts a great service history, with 11 stamps in the original booklet to include the running-in check done at 1,314 miles; the most recent service was carried out in February 2019 less than 2k miles ago.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

The 17-inch dished alloys present immaculately having been refurbished to a high standard in recent years. The unmarked wheels are shod in high quality tyres all round, with 225/45 R17 Michelin Pilot Sports at the front and 245/40 R17 Continentals at the rear. Out on the road the brakes perform well, stopping the car with ease quickly and in a straight line.

History File

This low mileage M Coupe was first registered in September 2000. It has now driven just 63k miles from new and is accompanied by a great service history, with all 11 stamps present in the original maintenance booklet. The History File also includes a raft of invoices and MOT certificates, along with the leather document pack with all manuals. The car was last serviced in February 2019 at 61k miles.

om BMW
Bayerische Motoren Werke, allmänt känt som BMW, har en rik historia som sträcker sig tillbaka till grundandet 1916. Ursprungligen etablerat som en flygmotortillverkare under första världskriget, ställdes BMW inför restriktioner när det gällde flygplansproduktion efter kriget. Som svar på detta skiftade företaget 1923 fokus till motorcykeltillverkning, vilket markerade början av deras deltagande inom bilindustrin. Därefter inträdde BMW i bilvärlden 1928 genom att producera DIXI, i huvudsak en licensierad version av Austin 7 från Austin Motor Company.

Under 1930-talet började BMW etablera sig som tillverkare av eleganta och högpresterande fordon. En framstående modell från denna tid är BMW 327, som introducerades 1937. 327 fanns tillgänglig som både coupé och cabriolet och visade företagets engagemang för lyx och stil. Dessutom nådde BMW framgångar inom sportbilsracing under denna period, särskilt med modellen BMW 328. BMW tävlade med 328 i olika racingevenemang, inklusive det prestigefyllda Mille Miglia, där företaget introducerade flera aerodynamiska specialmodeller.

Efterkrigstiden var utmanande för BMW, och företaget stod inför ekonomiska svårigheter som nästan ledde till konkurs. Trots detta lyckades BMW återhämta sig och återuppbygga sig, och blev så småningom en av de ledande premiumvarumärkena globalt.

När 1960-talet rullade in befäste BMW ytterligare sitt rykte som tillverkare av sportiga och lyxiga fordon. År 1968 introducerades BMW 2002 och markerade födelsen av "New Class" av kompakta, sportiga sedaner. 2002 blev populär för sitt smidiga hantering och prestanda och lade grunden för BMW:s sportiga image.

I och med 1970-talet utvidgade BMW sitt sortiment med introduktionen av plattformen E9, som inkluderade den ikoniska BMW 3.0 CS-coupén. E9-serien visade BMW:s engagemang för att kombinera prestanda och lyx. År 1972 gjorde M1, BMW:s första mittmotordrivna sportbil, sin debut. M1 utvecklades ursprungligen som en tävlingsbil men blev senare också en bil för allmän väg. M1 lade grunden för BMW:s högpresterande M-serie.

Mot slutet av 1970-talet introducerades BMW E24 6-serien och erbjöd en kombination av lyx och prestanda. 6-serien inkluderade modeller som 630CS, 633CSi och 635CSi och blev en symbol för sofistikering och körglädje.

Genom dessa milstolpar och en satsning på innovation och prestanda har BMW utvecklats till en gigant inom bilindustrin och behåller sin status som ett av de ledande premiumvarumärkena globalt.
