This 2000 BMW M Roadster has remained registered in California from new through the current owner’s purchase in 2008, and it now has 62k miles. The car is powered by a 3.2-liter S52 inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission and is finished in Cosmos Black Metallic over two-tone Dark Grey and black Nappa leather upholstery. Equipment includes Shadow-finished 17″ Style 40 wheels, a limited-slip differential, a black convertible soft top, heated sport seats, an alarm system, an aftermarket stereo, a Harman Kardon sound system, air conditioning, and cruise control. This M Roadster is offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with a clean Carax report, and a clean California title in the owner’s name.
This M Roadster is one of 246 examples produced finished in Cosmos Black Metallic over Dark Grey and black Nappa leather for the North American market for the model year. Exterior details include a replacement power-operated black convertible soft top, front fender vents, and quad exhaust outlets. The soft top was replaced in February 2021 and paint protection film has been applied to the front end, per the seller, who notes scratches in the left rear fender.
Shadow-finished 17″ Style 40 wheels have curb marks and wear Continental ExtremeContact tires that were mounted approximately 5k miles ago. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs.
The cabin features two-tone Dark Grey and black Nappa leather covering the heated sport seats, door panel inserts, and center console. Amenities include roll hoops, a carpeted dashboard cover, air conditioning, cruise control, an alarm system, an aftermarket head unit, and a Harman Kardon sound system. There is play in the seats and the glovebox is sagging.
The M-branded leather-wrapped steering wheel features tri-color stitching and frames a tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline, a 160-mph speedometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. An analog clock and readouts for voltage and oil pressure are housed in the center stack. The digital odometer indicates 62k miles, approximately 30k of which were added under current ownership.
The 3.2-liter S52B32 inline-six features VANOS variable valve timing and was factory rated at 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. The battery was replaced in 2022 and the drive belts were replaced in 2023.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or damage and lists registration history in California since new.
