Doug's Take
The BMW Z3 M Roadster is a fun convertible that boasts timeless styling, a mandatory 5-speed manual transmission, and a great soundtrack from its sporty S52 6-cylinder engine. This particular example touts one of the model's coolest color combinations: an Evergreen interior and exterior! It also shows relatively low mileage and features some great factory equipment – including 17-inch Style 40 wheels, a limited-slip differential, and a Harman/Kardon sound system. Plus, this M Roadster comes with no modifications and a clean, accident-free Carfax report, for added peace of mind. This looks like an amazing M Roadster, and I'm happy to offer it on Cars & Bids.
