This 2001 BMW M Roadster is finished in Black Sapphire Metallic over a two-tone Imola Red/Black Nappa leather interior. It is one of 1,564 M Roadsters built for North America in 2001-2002, of which just 33 were produced in this color combination. This example was purchased by the seller from a BMW dealer in May 2002 when it had 9,088 miles. Now showing 20,186 miles, the car has reportedly been kept completely stock and is equipped with an S54 3.2-liter inline-six and 5-speed manual transmission. According to the seller, annual servicing has been completed since her purchase, and maintenance documentation back to May 2002 will accompany the sale. This BMW is now being offered with an accident-free Carfax report, factory manuals, and a clean New York title in the seller’s name.
The seller states that the car retains all of its factory panels and Black Sapphire Metallic paint. It has reportedly been garaged, covered, and only driven in fair weather during her ownership. A nick in the rear bumper is highlighted in the photo gallery below.
The factory 17″ Roadstar alloy wheels show a few marks and are shod in matching Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Each corner is detailed in the photo gallery, as is the black soft top with its plastic rear window.
The two-tone Imola Red/Black Nappa leather interior features dual heated seats and appears well-kept in the provided images. A mesh wind deflector and OEM boot cover are included with the sale.
Aside from a temperature control knob that occasionally binds, all features and accessories are said to be in proper working order, including the heat and A/C.
Under the hood sits an S54B32 3.2-liter inline-six, which BMW quoted at peaks of 315 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque when new. The seller states that this M Roadster is serviced at the local BMW dealer annually. The most recent service was completed in October 2017 and included a new steering angle sensor in addition to regular maintenance. Complete service documentation since May 2002 is included.
The Carfax report shows two owners and registration in New York and New Jersey from new. 21 service history records are also displayed along with a mileage inconsistency around 15k miles in 2007, which appears to be a clerical error.
