Highlights

THIS... is a 1999 BMW Z3 2.8i Coupe, finished in Hellrot Red with a Sand Beige interior.

• This Z3 features the desirable 5-speed manual transmission, and the odometer currently displays approximately 69,100 miles.
• The attached Carfax vehicle history report contains a reporting gap between 1999 and 2002, though it shows no accidents or mileage discrepancies during the given time period.
• According to the build sheet provided in the gallery, notable factory equipment includes a limited-slip differential, Nappa leather upholstery, and power-adjustable and heated seats.
• A full list of notable modifications reported by the seller is detailed below. Highlights include a VF Engineering supercharger, a 3.46 final drive ratio, an Eisenmann muffler, 17-inch Konig Ultraflow wheels, BC Racing coilovers, and Hotchkis front and H&R rear sway bars with reinforcement tabs.
• Released for 1996, the Z3 was welcomed as a rear-wheel-drive roadster with two seats and a relatively affordable price tag; it was a true driver's car. BMW kept development costs in check by sourcing some components from the E30 and E36 3 Series parts bins, and it built the Z3 in South Carolina. 1997 brought a 6-cylinder engine, and the coupe arrived in 1999 with a shooting brake-like design that earned it the affectionate nickname "Clown Shoe." Production of both body styles ended in 2002.
• Power comes from an M52 2.8-liter supercharged inline-6. According to the dyno sheet pictured in the gallery, this Z3 now produces 243 horsepower and 215 lb-ft of torque at the wheels as a result of its modifications. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.
