Description
KEY FACTS A rare and exciting modern classic performance roadster, presented with very low mileage. Powered by a 3.2-litre ‘S50’ naturally aspirated straight-six engine, driving the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. First registered in the UK in 1998, this car has three registered keepers in total. The seller states that the first owner retained the car for a year, it was then sold by Dick Lovett to the current owner’s father, and it has since been transferred into his daughter’s name, meaning it has remained in the family ownership for 27 years. The odometer shows 12,198 miles. EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES Finished in a vibrant Estoril Blue, over a black and grey leather-trimmed interior. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels, fitted with new Uniroyal Rainsport 5 tyres in June 2026. Equipment includes air conditioning, electric windows, the original BMW Business head unit, heated power seats, air conditioning, two-tone steering wheel, power roof and internally illuminated gear knob. Accompanied by a BMW trickle charger, CD changer, tonneau cover, all original and unused tools, first aid kit, tyre repair pump, and one key (with a second to be forwarded to the buyer if found). CONDITION Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. MOT test history is shown via the button in the listing overview.
