Wanted Z3 2.8

[Andyjames]

Good Afternoon,

My current Z3 might be coming to the end of its economical life (post dodgy work at a local garage). Is there any decent 2.8/3.0 coming up for sale? Looking for decent condition. Appreciate it is entering the Z3 season, but just keen to see what is out there pending a review from a new garage about the bill to repair mine.

Hi Andy. I've got a stunning example of a 1998 BMW Z3 2.8 in the for sale section at the moment that's up for sale? I've just amended the advert & put some more photos on. Any questions, please ask. I'm based in Halifax, West Yorkshire, HX3.

There is a post recently put up titled Mathewsons. They have a 57000 mile 2.8 coming up in the next auction, valued at £3-4k. Seems a fair price for good miles to me.

Hi there. I always watch Bangers and Cash on TV. A good car will always fetch more than the guide to me. They should fetch at least £5,000 - £6,000 for a good one. Good luck if you get a good clean genuine one for £3,000 - £4,000.

I agree but if you can steal that at £4000 it'd be a good buy. I sold my Z3 2.8 4 years ago for £4750 and that had done 103,000.

Keep an eye on it you never know you might get lucky on the day with not many bidders or interest in it.Good luck!

Just as a bit of a guide for you. @Andyjames

I bought my 1998 z3 2.8 in November 2024 for £2900. Elec roof, heated sport elec seats
110k miles, minimal rust, good service history

Hi and thanks for the message and I understand what you are saying.

I'd always prefer to pay more for a lower mileage car though. My first one had over 160,000 miles on it, and this one with only 54,000 drives like a new and completely different car.

 

[Smudgemanuk]

Yeah i would have bought a lower mileage car, had I got the funds. It does make a big difference,

Good luck selling yours

Cheers mate. Fingers crossed as the sun is starting to shine again now

Hi @Andyjames I’m having a gentle attempt at selling mine . 59k miles great condition . I’ve spent a lot over the last 3 years . New genuine sills , koni sport shocks . Just serviced & mot . Last week .kept in the garage .
Advertising for 8k , but would take a serious offer. I’m not fussed if I end up keeping it hence the advertised price .
let me know if you want any more info .

Thanks all for the information and advice above - still waiting for the final quote to get mine fixed up before seeing if it’s worth getting a new one.

thanks again
