1998 BMW Z3M Roadster 5-speed manual
Here we have a 1998 BMW Z3M Roadster. A US market car, it has been in Canada since 2015. It was brought north of the border to be the late importer’s “baby” and is now on offer as the estate is settled. Its US history is primarily in the southern and western US – Florida, Arizona, Oregon, Washington – and it has spent the summers since in the Ottawa area. The car was imported in 2015 at 58,000 miles and has been driven under 5,000 miles since – to its current odometer reading of 62,500 miles. Ontario residents will be happy to know that the car comes with and Ontario Safety Standards Certificate.

The S52 has an aluminum cylinder head with four valves per cylinder. This engine employs BMW’s VANOS variable valve timing system. Special M components in place are the ported and polished cylinder head, re-tuned VANOS system to ensure greater power output at higher rpm, heavy-duty valve springs, valve lifters/springs/spring lifters reduced in weight and free-flow intake and exhaust systems.

This M-Roadster is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic with contrasting upscale Nappa black leather interior and black soft top. All are in very good condition. Paint is free of major defects and there are no tears in either the roof or interior upholstery.

What was the question?
We have resolved the question referred to earlier. Congratulations to high bidder @BadgerM3. Thank you to all other bidders and watchers.
Thank you for the bids. This is the first auction where the Last Chance System has produced a bid. A user has raised a question and we are reviewing the bids. We will publicize the results of the review when we have them.
Thanks for the paint measurements . Otherwise the front end has been painted. Usually anything over 5 has been repainted .
@shiraz1965 – Thank you for your responsiveness. The two new photos you submitted have been posted in the gallery, directly after the Carfax, as #’s 46 and 47.
@steadfastinc – please note.
steadfastinc – as I was taking paint measurement readings I did find an area that was repaired on the front left fender section of the hood. You can see a faint line along the crease between the fender section and the top of the hood. I will post a picture in the gallery. Otherwise, I took 4 readings on each panel. Here are the readings (in mils):
Trunk: 4.8-5.5
Rear left fender: 4.84-5.7
Driver side door: 4.84-5.1
Front left fender: 13.9-15.6
Top of hood: 6.5-8.4
Front right fender: 7.1-8.6
Right door: 4.84-5.1
Right rear fender: 4.37-5.2
Let me know if you have any other questions.
@steadfastinc – I will borrow a paint gauge from a friend and should be able to report back by end of day tomorrow.
@steadfastinc – Sadly there is no tonneau cover included with the car.
Has car been repainted or partially , Need paint measured on each panel. Maybe nothing on car fax but doesn’t mean it wasn’t accidented .
No mention of rear tonneau cover or not , a $ 800. item.
