1999 BMW M Roadster

Description

The 1999 BMW M Roadster is the high‑performance variant of the Z3, developed by BMW’s M division and built in Spartanburg, South Carolina. M Roadsters bound for U.S. buyers were powered by the 3.2‑liter S52 inline‑six producing 240 horsepower and 236 lb‑ft of torque when new, paired exclusively with a five‑speed manual transmission and rear‑wheel drive. Compared to the standard Z3, the M Roadster features wider front and rear track, M‑specific suspension tuning, and larger brakes, as well as unique wheels and seats.

Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic paired with a power-assisted black convertible soft top and heated Black nappa leather sport seats, this 1999 M Roadster was first delivered in California and later purchased by the seller in 2007 and now shows just under 69,000 miles. It's fitted with 17" alloy wheels, functional fender vents, and heated seats, plus an aftermarket head unit paired with a trunk-mounted amplifier and subwoofer.

This 1999 BMW M Roadster is now offered with a wind deflector, a tool kit, a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Texas title in the seller's name.
