With its prototypical long-hood, short-deck design, the M Roadster holds an undeniable visual appeal for sports car enthusiasts. This California-based 1998 BMW M Roadster shows just 34,600 miles from new. The classic color combination of Arctic Silver Metallic with a black top, draped over a Black Nappa leather cabin increases its attractiveness. BMW’s legendary inline six-cylinder engine, five-speed manual gearbox, and rear-wheel drive layout further enhance its desirability. This M Roadster appears well-preserved by its prior owners and carries an accident-free Carfax report. May the new owner enjoy this timeless beauty for years to come.

This M Roadster has resided in California since new and shows three prior owners per the accident-free Carfax report. The selling dealer acquired the car in November 2021 and has added approximately 10 of the 34,600 miles total miles shown. Some service history is shown on the Carfax report and the seller notes that many parts have been replaced within the last year, a detailed list of which is presented below in the Servicing & Documentation section.
The first generation of BMW M Roadster was based on the already successful Z3 and sold in the US between 1998 – 2002. Upgrades over the standard Z3 include BMW's stalwart "S52" inline six-cylinder engine factory-rated at 240 horsepower, a revised suspension system, brakes borrowed from the E36 M3, and myriad other improvements. These cars are visually distinguished from the standard Z3 via revised front and rear bumpers, lower ride-height, M-specific wheels, and quad exhaust tips.
