1999 BMW Z3 2.8 Coupe in Estoril Blue — Japanese Import with M52TU Inline-Six
About this vehicle
The Z3 2.8 Coupe sits at the top of the Z3 family — widest, stiffest, tracing its bloodline through the Z1 and the 507 Roadster back to BMW's E36 3-Series platform. That shooting-brake roofline does real work. It's not ornamental; it adds genuine structural rigidity the open roadster beneath it simply can't match. This one came over from Japan, finished in Estoril Blue on black leather, with 51,688 kilometers (roughly 32k miles) showing.
Pick it out of a lineup and the 2.8 Coupe announces itself without trying. The wider rear track, revised front bumper, dual exhaust tips, fender-mounted roundels, and those side vents lifted from the 507 — all of it separates this car from the rest of the Z3 range at a glance. It rides on 17" BMW Style 32 wheels wearing new tires, and the Estoril Blue still catches the light the way it should. The seller's condition notes: light scratches on the driver's-side front bumper and fender, small dings on the driver's door and quarter panel, some scuffing under the rear hatch. The passenger-side quarter panel and portions of the passenger door have been repainted in factory-matched paint. A clean CARFAX report and a detailed gallery are included.
Inside, black leather covers the seats throughout a cabin that came well-equipped from the factory — Harman Kardon sound system, 6-CD changer, cruise control, onboard computer, air conditioning, power windows, power seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel. Two things worth knowing: the driver's seat height adjustment doesn't work, and a toggle switch has been wired in to handle that function. Japan-market additions include an aftermarket head unit, a Japanese ETC toll-reader, and extra aftermarket power outlets.
Under the hood, the 2.8-liter M52TU inline-six is factory-rated at 193 HP, driving the rear wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission.
Sale includes a clean title, a tool kit, and one key.
