Imola Red with black Leather
Factory Hardtop
I am the 2nd owner of this car. I purchased it in 2020 from the original owner in GA. I searched for many months looking for the right car that was maintained and cared for as I care for mine cars. I drove a few local cars before deciding the Z3M was for me and began the search. When I found this example, I was so impressed by the car and the owner. He was an older gentleman that was a serious car nut. He had a 3 bay garage with two full car storage lifts. His passion was BMWs and as the original owner he had every receipt and all paperwork for everything since day one including the original window sticker. He and his wife were BMW club members and attended every BMW event they could. He was aging and having difficulty shifting gears and was selling most of his cars. We had multiple calls and facetimed as he walked around and confirmed all was in working order. By far the best example I had seen online or in person with this mileage. I bought it.
Mods
All the mods listed below were done by the original owner. Most done within the first year or two. I have all receipts in a binder.
· Dinan CAI
· Dinan Front Strut Brace
· Dinan Mass Air Flow Sensor
· Dinan Larger Throttle Body Carb
· Dinan Stage 3 ECU Tune
o All original Dinan brochures as well
· Super Sprint Exhaust – Sounds amazing with no drone.
· UUC Short Shift Kit
· UUC Oil Filter Housing
· Leather door arm pads
· Leather steering wheel side pieces
· Leather center console cover/cup holders
· All regular maintenance completed
In 2010 the car was in a very minor parking lot bump. The owner, being a perfectionist,
A took the car to BMW and had the entire car repainted. It looks amazing. I have had a few BMW indie shops as well as local BMW dealer rave about the condition.
Mods/Maintenance since I have owned it
· Purchased hardtop from a different original owner. They bought new with car, took it off and placed in stand until I bought it. Perfect shape with all mounting hardware and tools/manual. I had it professionally painted Imola Red to match. Headliner is a 9-9.5 out of 10. Comes with new stand and padded top cover.
· Dinan Stage 4 Tune. Car is very responsive and runs perfectly. Think of it as stock+
· All new tires: Continental ExtremeContact 255r 225f
· New brake pads
· Transmission fluid flushed and replaced
· SS clutch line installed
· Brake fluid replaced
· Cooling system flushed and fluids replaced
· All belts and hoses replaced
· Front control are bushings replaced
· Guibo disc replaced
· Seat bushings replaced
· Sagging glove box fixed
· Seatbelt guides replaced
· Replaced rear window
· Plexi Wind Deflector
· TC Kline SA Coil overs installed 600R 400F. I will double check that. Amazing transformation over stock. I have it lowered about an inch.
· ESC spacers to improve the stance
· Stubby antenna
· Custom steering wheel by Guardian Designs out of Poland. They have done two other wheels for me in the past. Not cheap but very nice quality. I have OEM as well. I cannot explain how much better a thicker wheel improves the driving experience.
· Redline goods shift boot with matching stitching
· New OEM M floor mats
· New OEM shit knob – smaller and heavier. Not lighted….my son bought for me on father’s day and did not have the heart to return. I have original knob that works/lights up perfectly.
· Professional paint correction and ceramic coating applied
· Coverking car cover for winter storage
· Trunk floor welds are perfect – I have pictures of this as well.
I’m sure I am forgetting some items. The car has been garaged its entire life. I have every piece of paper since new. Also has original soft top cover and window blanket for when the top is put down to protect window plastic.
I bought the car with just over 47,000 miles and have added about 4,000 miles in 2 years. I paid extra for enclosed shipping from GA to NH. I have hundreds of pictures so please let me know what you are looking for and I will provide.
This is an amazing car. Happy to answer any questions.
Pictures to follow....
