Seller Description

This 1998 BMW M Roadster was purchased new by the seller and has remained in California since. The car is one of 742 North American-market examples finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over Black Nappa leather upholstery for the model year, and it now has 20k miles. Powered by a 3.2-liter S52 inline-six linked with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, the car is equipped with silver-finished 17″ Style 40 wheels, a Black soft top, heated sport seats, a Harman Kardon sound system, an AM/FM cassette stereo, air conditioning, and cruise control. This M Roadster is now offered with the owner’s manual, services records, a Z3-branded trunklid storage system, a car cover, a clean Carfax report, and a California title in the seller’s name.

This M Roadster is one of 742 finished in Arctic Silver Metallic (309) over Black Nappa leather for the North American market for the model year. Features include a power-operated Black soft top, front fender vents, and quad exhaust outlets.

The silver-finished 17″ Style 40 wheels are fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires that were mounted in August 2021. Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs.

The cabin features Black Nappa leather covering the heated sport seats, door panel inserts, and center console. Amenities include roll hoops, air conditioning, cruise control, an AM/FM cassette stereo, and a Harman Kardon sound system

The M-branded leather-wrapped steering wheel features tri-color stitching and frames a tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline, a 160-mph speedometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. Additional readouts are housed in the center stack. The digital odometer indicates under 20k miles, all of which were added under current ownership.

The 3.2-liter S52B32 inline-six features VANOS variable valve timing and was factory rated at 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage.

The California title is a duplicate.

It looks like a super nice, low-mileage, one-owner M Roadster. It appears to be all stock. They should have cleaned up the outside of the mufflers to finish perfecting it. Bidding up to $6,000.00 so far.
