Seller Description

For sale is my beloved 1999 Z3 M coupe. I've owned this car for the last five years and it's been by far the most exhilarating and unique vehicle I've owned. If you're looking at this you already know how rare and amazing these cars are. According to the M Registry, this particular Coupe is 1 of only 37 built in 1999 in this color/interior combo. It has the S52 3.2 inline six producing 240hp from the factory. I have installed a few tasteful modifications that I will list below and all factory parts are included in the sale. This car gets more looks than you could imagine. I literally get 3-4 compliments per week. People just absolutely love it because it's so different. You never see one, especially in great condition. Most people actually think its a new car and can't believe it when I tell them it's going on 14 years old. Aside from a few minor scuffs and one small crack between the heated seat and a/c button, it's fantastic.

I have every receipt from everything I've done to the car, from mods to maintenance. The cooling system has been completely overhauled within the last year or so. Newer rotors/pads, etc. doesnt leak any fluids whatsoever. Clutch was replaced at 60k, I purchased the vehicle at 61,400. Have prior receipts for proof of that work as well. Interior is two-tone Black/Imola Red, red dash, door panels etc. Interior is in excellent condition, no rips, cracks or tears. Rear cargo cover and net to separate trunk from front seats is perfect as well. Everything works as it should. It also has the factory 6 disc changer in the rear hatch. Wheels are in good shape, no curb rash or dings. Tires are 225/45/17 in front and 255/40/17 in rear. They have at least 70% tread left, Yokohama S-drive.

This car has been my pride and joy and I'd love to see it go to someone who would enjoy it as much as I have. The ONLY reason I'm selling is because I need a bigger vehicle with four doors and im ready for something new. I planned on sitting on this car for twenty years as they're becoming more collectible and scarce every year. I just monetarily can't make it work and hate to see it become a garage queen. I've only put 25k miles on it in five years! Please email me with any questions. I have tons of pics.

My Comments

Sold 12/2/12 - Seller decided to keep it. Good decision!

10/4/12 Update - Added a few new photos. It looks great, but I've heard people have not had any luck contacting the seller.

It sounds like it's been well loved and maintained. Having the cooling system updated is a huge plus for an S52 as are all the records/receipts. The other upgrades are also great. It does look like it's in great shape. I've emailed the seller for more photos. Because of the cool color combo and recent maintenance, i think the price is fair.
