1999 Z3 M Roadster Convertible! Great Condition, fierce handling, tight control and low mileage! ALL photographs are of my actual car, taken by me!
I moved from San Francisco to Seattle a few years ago, but am now moving to New Orleans and won't be taking the car with me. The car is currently in Seattle!! I would drive it down to you if you buy it! You are also welcome to come to Seattle to view it and we can talk about all details over the phone before considering that.
Original Owner, 84,500 miles, dual exhaust, well maintained and runs solid! Any questions just ask! Serious Inquiries ONLY!! I'll probably hold a viewing at a DMV location in North Seattle in the 3rd week of August. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to view it before then. Thanks, TC

Add'l Info:
The BMW M Roadster was designed to be the performance version of the BMW Z3, and there were significant differences between the two variants. The body of the M had many slight differences. These included front and rear bumpers, gills, rear wings, boot and mirrors.
Under the skin many of the components were beefed up with many of them taken from the E30 M3 and E36 M3 Evo including brakes and much of the suspension. The M could run a wider track under the flared wheel arches as well as wider wheels and tires to try to tame the increased power. The low offset of the rear wheels allows plenty of flexibility to increase the rear tire width. A dual exhaust system fed each set of three cylinders to two dual tailpipes. This quad exhaust has since become an BMW M division signature. Other changes included adding a limited slip differential, a different gearbox and strengthening the chassis.
The interior had a different look to the standard Z3, starting with the M-version steering wheel and including different instrumentation such as an oil temperature gauge. Finally, the car was available in M-specific colors which were not released for the regular Z3.
In the 5 years, from 1998--2002, approximately 15,000 M Roadsters were produced for both European and North American markets. This is compared to the 300,000 standard Z3s produced in the same time frame. This makes them very rare and highly desired by car and performance enthusiasts.
