This 1999 BMW M Roadster is finished in Cosmos Black Metallic over black Nappa leather and powered by a 3.2-liter S52 inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Equipment includes a black convertible top, cruise control, air conditioning, heated and power-adjustable sport seats, power windows, and 17″ forged Beyern Spartan wheels. The car spent time in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, and Michigan before the seller acquired it in August 2021 and relocated it to Kentucky. Recent service is said to include replacement of the tires, front brake components, and trim items. This M Roadster has 71k miles and is now offered with manufacturer’s literature, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Kentucky title in the seller’s name.
The body is finished in Cosmos Black Metallic (303) and paired with a power-retractable black convertible top, and equipment includes black rollover hoops, quad exhaust outlets, and a clamshell hood with side vents. The front fender and trunk lid M badges were replaced during current ownership, and stone chips are visible on the nose and rocker panels.
Chrome-finished 17″ Beyern Spartan forged wheels are wrapped with 225/45 front and 245/40 rear Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season tires that show date codes from 2021. The seller reports that the front brake pads were replaced with Akebono components, and the front rotors were replaced with Zimmerman units during their ownership.
The interior features heated and power-adjustable sport seats upholstered in black Nappa leather (Q6SW) along with a color-coordinated center console, dashboard, and door panels. Amenities include cruise control, air conditioning, power windows, replacement black floor mats, a Z3-branded glass wind deflector, and a BMW Business CD stereo hooked to a Harman Kardon sound system. The driver’s seat outer bolster is worn.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel features tri-color Motorsport stitching and frames an 8k-rpm tachometer, a 160-mph speedometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level, while auxiliary gauges are mounted in the center console. The digital odometer indicates 71k miles, fewer than 1k of which were added during current ownership.
The 3.2-liter S52 inline-six was factory rated at 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque when new.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a ZF five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery below.
Manufacturer’s literature and partial service records are included in the sale.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists registration, service, and emissions inspection history in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, and Kentucky.
