FACTORY STOCK VEHICLE
1999 BMW Z3 2.8 coupe
November, 1999 build date, delivered to me Nov. 30, 1999
Artic white paint with tan leather interior
37,000 miles
OBC, cargo net, & extended leather options.
Factory-installed Torsen differential
No sunroof (rare)
Simmons FR-Series (5-spoke) 3-piece custom wheels, all 8.5” x 17”, silver centers with polished lip
Kumho 712 tires, all 245/40-WR17 size, 8,000 miles of use; in excellent condition.

Being frankly honest, this vehicle was ordered by me exclusively for autocross use. It was not a daily driver. Almost all the mileage was done on the highway traveling to long distance autocross events. Otherwise, the vehicle was kept stored in a garage. My records indicate that my 2 year period of ownership culminated in approx. 190 minutes total of actual on-course autocross use, with at least 12 engine & transmission oil changes occurring during that time. It has been extremely reliable and trouble-free, barring the failure of a security system control module once that prevented the engine to start. Regarding engine condition & strength, this particular vehicle is capable of sub-6 second 0-60 mph times if pushed hard. To alleviate any concerns regarding accelerated wear of certain components, the following parts will be replaced just prior to the sale:

New OE flywheel and complete OE clutch assembly, installed by local BMW dealer.
New front & rear brake rotors
New front wheel hubs/bearings
New or rebuilt front brake calipers
New OE anti-sway bar D-bushings

In addition, the following notes:
Original brake pads with less than 1,000 miles of use
Original front struts with less than 1,000 miles of use
Original rear shocks and upper rear shock mounts with less than 1,000 miles of use
Original rear muffler with less than 1,000 miles of use, modified to be removable
OE air filter, OE fuel filter, and OE sparkplugs installed 9/00
Dealer-installed rear control arm toe-adjustment bushings this year per BMW TSB

As listed above; $24,000 complete
