Highlights

THIS... is a 1998 BMW Z3 M Roadster, finished in Arctic Silver Metallic with a matching hardtop, a black soft top, and a black interior.

• This Z3 M features the desirable 5-speed manual transmission.
• The attached Carfax vehicle history report shows no mileage discrepancies in this Z3 M’s past; it also shows that it has been registered in Florida since new.
• According to the window sticker provided in the gallery, notable factory equipment includes a limited-slip differential, a power-retractable soft top, leather upholstery, heated seats, and air conditioning.
• Notable modifications reported by the seller are extensive, and the full list is detailed below. Highlights include an OEM hardtop sourced from a 2.8-liter BMW Z3, a Randy Forbes subframe reinforcement kit, Bilstein B8 shock absorbers, H&R Springs sport springs, polyurethane subframe and rear trailing arm bushings, and a Continental TR7411U head unit.
• Based on the Z3, the M Roadster made its debut in 1998 with a more powerful engine shared with the E36 M3, a sportier suspension system, and wider wheel arches, among other changes. It was immediately hailed as one of the best driver's cars on the market.
• Power comes from an S52 3.2-liter inline-6, rated at 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission.
