This 1998 BMW M Roadster is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over black Nappa leather and is powered by a 3.2-liter S52 inline-six mated to a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a power-operated blue soft top, a body-color removable hardtop, 18″ alloy wheels, heated sport seats, cruise control, air conditioning, and an aftermarket CD stereo. The car was first registered in Texas and later relocated to Florida.
Modifications consist of aftermarket headlights, Bilstein shocks, H&R lowering springs, stainless steel brake lines, an electric cooling fan, and a K&N air filter. This M Roadster features wider fenders than the contemporary Z3 along with revised bumpers and quad exhaust outlets. This example is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic (309) and is equipped with a power-operated blue soft top, a body-color removable hardtop, aftermarket headlights, fender vents, and black magnetic stone guards.
The convertible top mechanism and trim have been replaced. Gray-finished 18″ alloy wheels wear BMW center caps and are mounted with Federal Super Steel 595tires measuring 235/40 up front and 275/35 out back. Braking is handled by cross-drilled and slotted rotors at each corner with braided steel brake lines.
The suspension has been modified with Bilstein shocks, H&R lowering springs, a front strut tower bar, Powerflex rear shock mounts, and dual-position fixed camber plates. The cabin features heated sport seats trimmed in black Nappa leather with a matching center console, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include air conditioning, cruise control, a locking glovebox, and an Alpine CD stereo. The driver’s seat bushings have been replaced, and an aftermarket rearview mirror and pedal covers have been installed.
The leather-wrapped M sport steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. An analog clock and gauges for voltage and oil temperature are mounted in the center stack. The digital odometer indicates 83k miles, and that the dash bulbs were recently replaced.
