For sale is my 1999 BMW Z3 1.9 (M44). It has just over 60,000 miles on the clock. This a a manual, narrow body/pre-facelift with the M44 engine. It is in Atlanta Blue with tan interior and matching tonneau. The car was originally Hellrot red but the previous owner had the whole thing repainted to match the bond car, its a thorough paint job, can only tell the original red from the underside of the bonnet and boot lid and a minor chip by the passenger door (pictured).
I have owned the car for 2.5 years and in that time have done the following:
replaced seat bushings
repaired thermostat controls
upgraded wipers to Bosch aerotwin blades
custom stainless steel exhaust system (including catalytic converter) from Tony Banks Exhausts, Leeds. (2024)
new clutch (around 5000 miles ago, 2023)
upgraded footwell speakers
new tyres all round (4000 miles ago, 2023)
new brake lines (500 miles ago, 2024)
This is not the original engine as the water pump failed which led to a cracked head. I had a new M44 engine fitted which was on 90,000 miles so is now on 95,000 miles. The engine has service history and was serviced when fitted (July 2023).
The car runs, drives and stops well. The stainless exhaust sounds a dream, it really sings at high revs but isn't obnoxiously loud and doesn't drone on motorway drives (anymore than you would expect from a small car with a fabric roof). Automatic soft top works great and a new soft top was fitted by previous owner in summer 2022. Electric seats work well. Sony head unit fitted with Bluetooth/FM/DAB/CD/USB/handsfree phone call functions. Upgraded OBC indicator stalk has been fitted but the OBC unit itself does not work. The ASC light is always on, I think this has been disconnected since the engine swap.
1 key. Lots of service history and paperwork, including original bill of sale and specs list from 1999!
I am selling as I don't use it enough to justify the upkeep and I could do with a car that can fit more people and bicycles too!
Please get in touch via message on this forum for any more info. Asking for £3000.
