Features include a replacement black soft top, a refinished removable hardtop, APEX ARC-8 17″ wheels with spacers, BC Racing coilover shocks, an illuminated ZHP shift knob, and a Continental Bluetooth stereo. Work under current ownership has consisted of cooling system and interior trim modifications as well as engine maintenance.

This M Roadster has 71k miles and is offered with a maintenance log, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Hawaii title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Cosmos Black Metallic and equipped with a replacement powered black convertible soft top said to have been fitted in 2019, and a refinished removable hardtop that was acquired in 2020. Work completed under current ownership has included tinting the windows, installing clear reflectors and a shorter antenna as well as replacing the taillights, brake light, headlight pivot adjuster, M emblems, and front BMW roundel. Ceramic coating is said to have been applied in 2020. The seller notes burn marks on the right headlight, two dings and paint touch-up on the passenger-side door, and wind noise from the left side with the hardtop on.
APEX ARC-8 17″ wheels wrapped in Nitto NT05 tires were mounted in 2020, along with 5mm front and 12mm rear wheel spacers, Motorsport Hardware wheel studs, and BC Racing coilovers. The outer tie rod ends and brakes are said to have been replaced under current ownership.
The heated sport seats and door panels are upholstered in black Nappa leather. The seller reports installing a Continental Bluetooth stereo, an illuminated ZHP shift knob, a driver’s seat tilt mod kit and replacement bushings, and a reinforcement bar for the glovebox. The armrest and door handle pads, center console trim, floor mats, shifter and parking brake boots, and door handle trim have been replaced. The seller notes door panel upholstery separation near the A-pillars, a white mark on the passenger seat, scratches on the inside of the passenger door, a bubble in the rearview mirror, and electrical tape around the mirror trim. The hardtop rear window defroster is not installed.
The M-branded steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and fuel level and coolant temperature gauges. Gauges for voltage and oil temperature are mounted in the center stack. The digital odometer indicates 71k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership.
The car is powered by a 3.2-liter S52 inline-six, and the seller reports that the ECU has been flashed to increase throttle response, remove the top speed limiter, and remove secondary air pump (SAP) functionality. Additional modifications include disabling the mechanical engine fan and installing a lower temperature switch for the electric auxiliary fan. The battery is said to have been replaced in 2019, and the fluids were changed in the summer of 2020. A detailed log of modification and maintenance items compiled by the seller is provided in the gallery and details replacement of the following components:
Radiator, expansion tank, and coolant hoses

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The clutch pedal bushing was reportedly replaced with a brass version.
