This M Roadster is one of 56 finished in Imola Red (405) over black and Dark Gray Nappa leather for the North American market for the model year. Features include a power-operated black convertible soft top, a removable hardtop, front fender vents, and quad exhaust outlets. The rear of the car was repaired following an accident, and a repaint was performed in 2024. A hardtop hoist and a car cover are included in the sale.
Shadow-finished 17″ Style 40 wheels are mounted with 225/45 front and 245/40 rear Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The car is equipped with Dynamic Stability Control and All-Season Traction (AST), and braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs. The seller tells us that blemishes are visible on the rear wheels.
The cabin features black and Dark Gray Nappa leather covering the heated sport seats, door panel inserts, and center console. Amenities include roll hoops, air conditioning, cruise control, an alarm system, a Kenwood head unit, and a Harman Kardon sound system. The driver’s seat shows wear, and the rearview mirror auto-dimming function is inoperable.
The M-branded leather-wrapped steering wheel features tri-color stitching and frames a tachometer with an 8k-rpm redline, a 170-mph speedometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 47k miles, approximately 41k of which were added under current ownership.
The replacement 3.2-liter S54B32 inline-six was installed in January 2007 by Rick Hendrick BMW of Charleston, South Carolina, and features double-VANOS variable valve timing and a Siemens MSS 54 engine management control system. Output was factory rated at 315 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The seller notes that the trunk welds/differential mounts have not been addressed.
