Used 96 BMW z3 - manual trans, rust free, many service records, rare for sale in Downers Grove, IL

Well maintained and originally from South Carolina. rust free BMW z3!

The z3 was BMW's answer to the first gen Mazda Miata and offered a more luxurious interior along with even more horsepower!

This is the same car driven by James Bond in the 1995 film GoldenEye! This classic BMW styling is still gorgeous today! I receive so many compliments about it, and many are shocked that this car is 26 years old!

Very reliable, and I took it on a 6 hour road trip this summer with zero issues. No accidents at all in its history. Clean Illinois Title. And since it's older than 25 years, you can register it as an antique which costs only $55 (rather than $155)/year!

This is the very desirable Dunkelgrün (Dark Green II), which was a rare color option and later used on the British Traditional Exclusive Edition. This is paired with the gorgeous Tan Leather interior.

Engine has a beautiful purr, and the 5 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly. Clutch was replaced at 101,000 miles.

AC blasts very cold air!

This has been such a fun car, and I will miss it greatly. However, I just welcomed my third child into the world, and no long have the time or space to enjoy it.
