Description

The 1997 BMW Z3 2.8i Convertible delivers an engaging driving experience with its lively 2.8-litre straight-six and rear-wheel-drive balance. The smooth automatic gearbox and compact chassis make it responsive and effortless whether cruising coastal roads or enjoying a spirited afternoon drive. The open-top character adds an immediate sense of freedom, with the folded hood offering an airy cabin and a soundtrack that suits the engine's character.

Practical for a classic, this example benefits from a sensible two-seater layout, a tidy history and recent MOT, making ownership straightforward. The silver finish and black Extended Oregon leather give the cabin a timeless feel, while heated seats and the BMW Business stereo improve everyday comfort.
