The M Roadster debuted as a fine-tuned version of the BMW Z3 Roadster that was designed to compete with sports cars like the Porsche Boxster. The M cars come with a standard 3.2-liter, DOHC six-cylinder engine that spouts 240 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm and makes 236 foot-pounds of torque, peaking @ 3,800 rpm. The engine is nestled into the front end of the car and utilizes rear-wheel drive with a limited slip differential, which helps to achieve stable cornering.
This car was purchased earlier this year from the original owner and has only been driven a handful of times, the car is in prestine condition. This car was purchased as a daily driver, however, once I found out it was an M Series collector I just couldnt bare putting any more miles on it and wanted to give another a chance to own this prized possession!
Original maintanence records are available if needed, this car is a jewel and is awaiting your bid!
BMW's ZF type C five-speed manual transmission with direct fifth gear shifts into the right place like magic and makes for a perfect engine/transmission combination.
The M Roadster, with its more conservative, yet swoopy, styling. Open-air travel is always a pleasure, but few convertibles are as entertaining as the BMW M Roadster on a twisty two-lane or a flat stretch of deserted highway. A combination of refinement and performance, the roadster engine feels smooth, silky and strung. The roadster's cabin is comparable to that of the coupe, with the same dashboard setup and two-toned leather seats. Instead of the M Coupe's cargo area, you'll find two huge roll bars behind the roadster's two seats, as well as a mesh wind net that significantly quells wind buffeting.
Reaching 60 mph from zero in 5.3 seconds, the M Roadster blows away competition like the Porsche Boxster and Mercedes-Benz SLK in straight-line acceleration. The roadster's closest competitor, the Boxster, makes 201 horsepower @ 6,000 rpm and and 181 foot-pounds of torque @ 4,500 rpm. Priced within two thousand dollars of each other, the Boxster and M Roadster are true rivals. We'd choose the BMW roadster for a drag race due to its impressive acceleration. All sales final, no warranties and sold as is.
