Better known as the M Roadster, it was produced 1998 to 2002 and then again from 2006 to 2008. All models were produced in the Greer, South Carolina manufacturing facility, though the complete M engine was imported from Germany.
The BMW M Roadster was designed to be the performance version of the BMW Z3, and there were significant differences between the two variants. The body of the M Roadster had many slight differences. These included front and rear bumpers, rear wings, boot, and mirrors. Under the skin, many of the components were beefed up with many of them taken from the E30 M3 and E36 M3 Evo including brakes and much of the suspension.
This quad exhaust has since become a BMW M division signature. Other changes included adding a limited slip differential, a different gearbox and strengthening the chassis. This is a very well kept, 199 BMW Z3 M Roadster.
