Description from the seller

BMW Z3 Coupé 2.8 1999

A beautiful BMW Z3 Coupé 2.8 from 1999, finished in the iconic and increasingly rare body style worldwide known as the "Clown Shoe." This distinctive shooting brake has now become one of BMW's most beloved modern classics and has grown into a sought-after collectible among enthusiasts.

Under the long hood lies the legendary 2.8-liter inline-6 engine, delivering 192 hp and a distinctive BMW sound that makes every drive special. Thanks to rear-wheel drive and perfect weight distribution, the Z3 Coupé offers a pure, analog driving experience that is rarely found today.

The car is in very good used condition and is finished in a gorgeous black paint combined with the rare red leather interior. A color combination that perfectly suits the exclusive character of this BMW.

Interior

The interior is in very neat condition and exudes the quality BMW was known for in the 1990s. The rare red leather upholstery provides a beautiful contrast with the black exterior and gives the car an exclusive appearance.

This Z3 Coupé is richly equipped and includes, among other things:

Air conditioning
Electric panoramic/tilt sunroof
Leather upholstery
Electrical provisions
Light alloy wheels
BMW sporty cockpit

The interior is well-kept, complete, and shows only normal signs of use appropriate for its age and mileage.

Exterior

The bodywork is in a very handsome condition, and the car makes an immediate impression with its distinctive lines and sculpted rear. The Z3 Coupé’s distinctive design was praised at introduction for its individuality and is now regarded as one of the most characterful BMW designs ever built.

The black paint gives the car a timeless and sporty look, while the long roof and wide rear end ensure a striking presence on the road. A car that immediately attracts attention from connoisseurs and at events. The paintwork is still in good condition as of 2026.

History and Documentation
This 1999 BMW Z3 Coupé 2.8 features a logical and transparent mileage report, making the odometer verifiable. The available mileage report provides a good view of the car’s history and contributes to trust in this special example.

The Z3 Coupé was produced in limited numbers and is now regarded as one of the most characterful BMW models of the 1990s. The combination of the beloved 2.8-liter inline-6 engine, rear-wheel drive, the striking coupé design, and the rare color makes this car increasingly interesting for enthusiasts and collectors.

A well-documented Z3 Coupé in well-maintained condition is becoming harder to find, making this example not only a source of driving pleasure but also appealing for the future.

For the true BMW enthusiast, this Z3 Coupé offers everything a future classic should have: a naturally aspirated six-in-line engine, rear-wheel drive, a handcrafted look, a unique body style, and a rare color combination.

A car that not only drives wonderfully but also garners more appreciation each year within the classic BMW world.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
