1997 BMW Z3 1.9

BMW Z3 1.9 (140 hp) · 1997 · Originally sold in Spain · 127,000 km

For sale: a 140 hp BMW Z3 1.9, registered in 1997. This is a first-series model that captures the true essence of the roadster—the car with which BMW revived the concept of the lightweight, classic two-seater sports car.

This is a vehicle originally sold in Spain, with just 127,000 kilometers on the clock and a full service history.

It features a particularly attractive specification: metallic blue paintwork, a black interior, and signature BBS wheels that perfectly complement the aesthetic of the early Z3 models. It is also equipped with air conditioning and has just been fitted with a brand-new soft top.

Its 140 hp, 1.9-liter four-cylinder engine—combined with rear-wheel drive and the Z3’s low weight—delivers a highly engaging and direct driving experience, the kind that is becoming increasingly rare in modern sports cars.

One of this car's major appeals is its age. As a 1997 first-series Z3, it is approaching the 30-year mark, entering a phase where it is clearly collectible; by 2027, it could qualify for "historic vehicle" status, provided it meets the necessary requirements.

Early BMW Z3s are attracting growing interest as "youngtimers"—particularly well-preserved, low-mileage, original-spec examples like this one.
