1998 BMW Z3M - Rare and Collectible

You are bidding on a very nice 1998 BMW Z3M Roadster.
This is a No Reserve Auction. Last Bidder wins.
Ibought this BMW Z3M 4 years ago (approx.) and Istarted torestore it cosmetically. I own a private restorationfacility. Having sold the building recently and must sellmost of my cars.
Here is what I did to the car after I bought it

• Added halo halogen headlights - look great
• Painted the hood and front bumper (no damage, just road chips, etc).
• Replacedthe front grill and BMW kidneys
• Restored and refinished theoriginal rims - theylook great
• Added new tires
• Added new cross drilled rotors
• Added new brakes
• New wiper blades
• Replacedthe center console plastic surrounds
• Replaced the shift knob - it now properly illuminates
• Replacedthe drive shaft (previousowner used a two piece driveshaft - a one piece was original)
• Replaced the rubber bushings,front and rear, associated with the new drive shaft
• Replaced theinstrument cluster. The miles shown are not original - but the old unit was dead. So I am stating TMU.
• Installed a new clutch.
• Added a cold air intake kit from Cosmo.
• New oil change
• All routine maintenance was done by my shop.

Theexterior of the car is inexcellent condition, however, I do drive it on nice days so expect a smallnick or two - nothingreallynoticeable.
The driver seat has the usual bolster damage. In fact,there is a tear in the leather. It is about the onlything that Ididn't getaroundto fixing.
The electric convertible top works great - but the top has a fewminor tears. I never put it up usually and never drive it in the rain, of course. So, plan on a new top in the future. It doesn't leak - but, again, I never drive it ininclement weather.
The car runsgreat. Does not burn any oil.
The brakes work great.
The car shifts great and is quick (of course) and handles like it's on rails.
There is anaftermarket AM/FM/CD stereo in the car (Alpine) and is bluetooth and USB capable.
I have a clear and clean title in hand.
This is a no reserve, as-isauction. Last bidder wins.
The BMW Z3M is quickly becoming a valuable collector car. Prices are rising. Someone isgoing to get a great deal on this car.
Good Luck
