New arrival: 1998 BMW Z3 M Roadster

Arriving in our workshops we have our 1998 BMW Z3 M Roadster. Having been owned by the same family for 20 years the car we have purchased the car ourselves and will look to carry out a few remedial works before offering the car to market. The Z3 M Roadster is becoming a very rare car to find nowadays.

As you can see from the images the original paintwork is still in overall good shape but the sun has damaged the front and rear bumpers and the top lacquer is starting to peal. We will look to carry out a full respray on the car to freshen up the exterior look.

The Z3 M Roadster model was introduced in 1997 (ours is a 1998) as the high performance version of the BMW Z3. Cosmetic differences between the Z3 M and the standard Z3 models included front and rear bumpers, grilles, boot and mirrors.

In the 6 years from 1997 to 2002, 15,322 M Roadsters were produced.

The M roadster is electronically limited to a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).

Won Tomorrow! TVR Chimaera 500 Gets a Front End Respray

Our TVR Chimaera has just got even more appealing! 

We noticed a few stone chips on the front end of the car which let the car down slightly. Chris, one of Bridge Classic Cars’ painters has treated the Chimaera to a front end respray. We’re sure you’ll agree Chris has done a superb job.

This car is being won tomorrow regardless of sellout! Enter today for your chance of winning.
