This M Roadster is now offered by the original owner with a window sticker, manufacturer’s literature, a car cover, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
This M Roadster is one of 245 finished in Imola Red over Imola Red and black Nappa leather for the North American market for the model year. Features include a power-operated black convertible soft top, front fender vents, and quad exhaust outlets.
Silver-finished 17″ Style 40 wheels are mounted with Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs.

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. The digital odometer indicates 30k miles, all of which were added under current ownership. The instrument cluster lens is stained.
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 seller reports that the fuel tank was cleaned and the hoses and filters were replaced in March 2021, while the battery was replaced in June 2023.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
The window sticker lists initial delivery to John Roberts BMW in Dallas, Texas, and lists factory equipment, colors, and options. A car cover, manufacturer’s literature, and service records are also included in the sale.
