1998 BMW M Roadster roughly 100,000 miles on chassis and engine. Rebuilt Title from California sometime in 2010. Damage on the passenger side. Car was fixed professionally, no sign of impact or residual damage. I've been driving/tracking this car since 2014 without any issues. I simply have too many projects and need the space so this one has to go.

There likely a lot more I’m forgetting. This car has never let me down. The windows are a little slow, AC is gone (I tore everything out for it, so please don’t ask what itll take to put back in…it never worked well anyway). This car is completely turn key to drive around town (if you’re brave), go to the track or even AX…if that’s your thing. Tires are really old so you’ll need something new, but fluids are all new from this year. I ran RF650 brake fluid. Brakes have duct provisions from bimmerworld, but no hoses hooked up currently. 

I am not parting the car so please no questions like: “how much for the shifter or steering wheel” Nothing on this car is sold separate. Besides that, I’m open to provide full details, PPI, put it up on a rack and go over it with a fine tooth comb, whatever you want to do to feel comfortable with the sale.

This is a pretty cool conversion and would definitely be a fun track car. It's full of great parts in addition to the S54 and hard top.
