This M Roadster is one of 28 finished in Black Sapphire Metallic over dark gray and black Nappa leather for the North American market for the model year. Features include a power-operated black convertible soft top, a removable hardtop, front fender vents, and quad exhaust outlets.

The M-branded leather-wrapped steering wheel features tri-color stitching and frames a tachometer along with a 170-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. Ancillary gauges are mounted in the center stack. The digital odometer indicates 47k miles, approximately 200 of which were added under current ownership.
