It is with a heavy heart that I put up for sale my '98 M Roadster. This car is a joy to drive. I have so many memories in this car. . .. but I'm getting married soon and I have a 4 year old and I really don't have a place for a convertible sports car. I am the 5th owner of this car. The car had 89,932 miles on it when I bought it. Oil changes were done myself at 95,590 / 100,487 / and 105,907.

-The belts and pulleys were replaced on 7/10/2013 by Euro Tech here in Huntsville.
-The clutch, flywheel, master cylinder, clutch pedal bushings and slave cylinder were all replaced on 4/2/2012 with a UUC light weight flywheel and clutch by J & F Motors in Alexandria, VA
-I replaced the PCV myself in September 2011.
-The HVAC bulbs have been replaced.
-The lighted shifter knob has been replaced.
-The rear tires were replaced at 95,492 mile with Continental DWS on 2/27/2012.
-An alignment has been preformed on 6/18/2013 by NTB in Huntsville.
-I've installed a keyless entry system with the system built into a E46-like key fob.
-I have the Z3 seat repair bushing, they just need to be installed.
-I have a new stainless steel clutch line with a CDV (clutch delay valve) delete. Just needs to be installed.
-I have all maintenance records since I have owned the car.


Issues:
-This car has had some body work done, it was hit in a parking lot by a kid on his dirt bike. I had to have the passenger door and the panel above the front passenger tire repaired. I also had them repaint the front bumper and hood while they were at it. All work I've had done to it has been of great quality.

-I do not have any maintenance records prior to my ownership.

-The glovebox needs to be replaced.

-The plastic rear window should probably be replaced.

-The power convertible top works when it wants to. I think it may just need more hydraulic fluid.

-Recently I think the thermostat is stuck open. That just happened over New Years. I haven't had time to look at it or have it looked at.

This car is 16 years old. Do not expect a car with 0 issues. I think it is in great condition for how old it is and it has relatively low miles on it for it's age. I also believe it one of the few for sale in the area, if not the only one. Most of the issues on it are minor and I just don't have the time to care for it anymore.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask me. Serious offers only. Asking $8,000 obo.

Sounds like it has had lots of good maintenance performed in the last couple years.
