Manual transmission, leather in tannin red, exterior color Titan Silver metallic. One of the last with the M52B28TU engine (dual VANOS), notable previous owner, until 2021 in Switzerland, since 2021 in Germany (of course customs cleared, VAT paid, etc., and since 2021 with German registration), 109,000 km, full, uninterrupted service history, very good condition (especially the interior, which is practically like new) 2+.
Only one German letter entry. Prominent Swiss prior ownership (until June 2021).
A total of only 17,815 BMW Z3 Coupé were built.
Of these, 7,671 units were the BMW Z3 Coupé 2.8i.
A BMW Z3 Coupé in such a beautiful and original condition as this is hardly to be found on the market anymore.
Bodywork and Paint:
The bodywork and paint are in excellent condition. The gaps are uniform; doors and hoods close perfectly. No rust. The paint has a very good gloss level. There are no dust inclusions, nor craters or pits to be seen. Minimal stone-chipping marks on the front. The chrome parts have an excellent mirror finish and are free of scratches and dulling.
All glasses and panes are in very good condition. They are free of scratches, cracks, clouding, etc.. All rubber parts are mounted precisely, show no milling or porous spots, and are soft and flexible. Their sealing function is present all around.
Tires and wheels
The rims and tires are in flawless condition. Tires: Continental PremiumContact 6.
Technical condition
The engine starts immediately in both cold and warm conditions and runs very smoothly. It revs strongly across all RPM ranges. No rattling, no clattering. The engine is consistently clean, and its visual condition is practically like new.
The transmission shifts flawlessly. The brakes and suspension are tight and make no noises. All gauges and indicators, as well as the air conditioning, work flawlessly.
The last service and brake fluid replacement occurred at 104,046 km, and the last inspection by TÜV Süd at an odometer reading of 107,961 km, with no defects found.
The next German main inspection (Hauptuntersuchung) is due in April 2026. It can, if desired, be renewed before handover, provided you cover the inspection fees plus a €200 handling flat fee (the vehicle is currently stored for the winter).
Interior:
The interior of the passenger compartment is in like-new condition with only minimal signs of wear. The trunk is also in like-new condition. The odor is neutral and no parts are missing. All equipment components function flawlessly.
Neither the upgraded leather upholstery nor the headliner or the carpets show any damage or defects. Everything is intact.
Documents
The vehicle documents and the service booklet are complete. The latest service invoice is available, as well as the documents pictured in the attached photos, such as the TÜV report, etc.
Further information:
There have also been a few very nice articles published about my exact vehicle.

https://www.zwischengas.com/en/articles/cars/BMW-Z3-Coupe.html
Pickup and miscellaneous:
The coupe is located near Lake Constance and is fully drivable.
It can be moved on its own wheels without any problems.
If you wish, I can also arrange shipment of the vehicle within Europe, with you covering the costs incurred. The costs for this depend on the destination and may need to be agreed upon and paid in advance.
This is a private sale with the seller's liability for material and legal defects excluded.
The vehicle cover depicted in the last two photos (cotton cover) is not part of this offer. The two photos are intended only to document how carefully the offered BMW Z3 coupé has been stored.
