Up for sale is my 1998 BMW Z3 M Coupe in the iconic Estorilblau, one of the most desirable colours ever offered by BMW’s ///M division, and arguably the best colour on an M Coupe. With 187,772 km and a lifetime of proper care, this car presents in very good condition — clean, tight, and exactly how an enthusiast wants it. It's a pure drivers' car averaging just under 7,000km/year, just the right amount of km per year. It has not sat around collecting dust, staled fuel or hardening lines.
If you’re looking for a car that turns heads and delivers raw, unapologetic driving feel, this 1998 BMW Z3 M Coupe is the one. It’s become one of BMW’s most collectible modern classics — and for good reason.
Powered by BMW’s legendary straight-six and paired with a tight, driver-focused manual, the M Coupe gives you that old-school analog experience you simply can’t get anymore. The wide hips, the shooting-brake silhouette, the balanced rear-wheel drive setup — it’s a proper performance car built before electronics started doing all the work.
Collectors and enthusiasts know this model as the rare and increasingly sought-after “Clown Shoe.” Values have been climbing globally, and finding an Estoril Blue example in this condition — unmolested, well-kept, and still doing exactly what BMW built it to do — is becoming harder every year.
This example has been cared for, maintained, and loved. Whether you're a collector hunting for an appreciating asset or a driver who wants something special every time you turn the key, this Z3 M Coupe delivers. Values of clean Coupes have been climbing globally, and well-kept models are getting harder to find.
If you want a machine that’s rare, engaging, and guaranteed to spark conversations anywhere you park it, this M Coupe is waiting.
This 1998 BMW Z3 M has a whopping 239.6kW of power from its 3.2 litre engine!
