    1998 BMW Z3 2.8L â€" 2.8L I-6 DOHC with variable valve timing, premium fuel recommended, paired to a smooth 4-speed automatic. This classic roadster delivers 189 horsepower and an engaging drive; recent market shifts have trimmed pricing on many Z3s, so now is a smart time to act before desirable examples disappear from listings.

    Cruise control makes longer drives less taxing by holding your chosen speed so you can relax and reduce fatigue while improving steady-state fuel use.

    Leather seat upholstery raises the cabin’s feel with a refined, easy-care surface that keeps the interior looking sharp and comfortable for years.

    Power driver seat fore/aft adjustment lets you fine-tune your driving position at the touch of a button so reaching the wheel and pedals feels natural and secure.

    Power height adjustable driver seat helps you find the ideal sightlines and headroom quickly, improving comfort and confidence behind the wheel.

    Variable valve timing gives the engine flexibility across rev ranges, delivering better responsiveness, cleaner emissions, and improved efficiency when you need it.

    DOHC architecture supports higher engine speeds and stronger power delivery, contributing to the Z3’s lively performance character.

    Inline 6-cylinder smoothness provides strong, balanced power with the refined character enthusiasts expect from BMW’s straight-six engines.

    Premium unleaded fuel recommendation lets the engine perform at its best, preserving power and efficiency for spirited or relaxed driving alike.

    Sequential multi-point electronic fuel injection ensures reliable starts, consistent performance and efficient combustion for cleaner emissions and better fuel economy.

    Ignition immobilizer adds a layer of passive security so you have greater peace of mind when leaving the car parked.

    Leather wrapped steering wheel brings a tactile, upscale feel to your hands, enhancing the overall driving experience.

    Two airbags, including driver and passenger front-impact airbags, work with seatbelts to reduce the risk of serious injury in a collision.

    Combining classic roadster styling with a well-engineered inline-six and thoughtful creature comforts, the 1998 BMW Z3 2.8 is an appealing choice for drivers who want spirited performance alongside everyday usability. If you’re seeking a memorable drive and a tidy, well-appointed cabin, this Z3 is worth a lookâ€"inventory for sought-after models moves quickly, so don’t hesitate to schedule a viewing.

      So far so fun

      by Mark S on 2/6/2025 9:18:00 PM

      I just bought a 2000 Z3 so no clue on maintenance costs. The original owner only drove in around 1100 miles per yr. Mine has a hard top and was hard to find. A soft top in Cincinnati isn't idea and noisy on the highway. I bought new tires and changed all the fluids. So far it runs fantastic and it's a blast to drive. The interior feels like a car from 1965 but it has a cool retro vibe. My car has no modifications, and it will stay that way except maybe a better stereo. I kept my CRV for winter. Go get one.

      BMW Z3 Roadster

      by Anonymous Reviewer on 9/12/2023 6:28:44 PM

      It’s a wonderful car to drive. It’s so easy putting the top down. It handles curves like no other roadster. It’s great on gas mileage and it’s a real sports car without any problems I have found. Thayer are very difficult to find. All colors are very appealing as it’s shape is very sexy. Even as a female, who knows nothing about repairs it’s a very simple car to work on for myself. I highly recommend this car as a great weekend car or everyday vehicle. It’s like looking at a great piece of artwork. I would buy one all over again. I am confident in it’s ability to go back and forth to the Gulf from North Georgia. I highly recommend if you like sports cars be assured you, if you can find a one owner and it’s in excellent condition, you should consider it as a simple car with upkeep and you can find parts very easily.
