This 1998 BMW M Roadster is finished in Imola Red over black and red Nappa leather and is powered by a 3.2-liter S52 inline-six mated to a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The car was acquired by the seller in September of 2019, and equipment includes a black soft top, chrome-plated 17” wheels, a Harman Kardon sound system, air conditioning, heated sport seats, and a factory cassette stereo.
The car is finished in Imola Red (405) and features a black soft top, fender vents, quad exhaust tips, black roll hoops, and a clamshell hood. The power top switch does not work and the top must be manually opened and closed, and scuffs are present on the front lower bumper. The Carfax report lists an incident in October 2003 that resulted in damage to the left front pillar.
Chrome-plated 17” factory wheels are mounted with General G-Max tires that measure 225/45 up front and 245/40 out back and show 2019 date codes. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes.
The interior is upholstered in black and red Nappa leather with matching trim on the door panels, dash, and center console. Amenities include heated sport seats, a Harman Kardon sound system, a factory cassette stereo, air conditioning, and cruise control. The seller notes the volume knob is sticky, a crack is present in the center console and on the air-conditioning switch, the passenger seatbelt guide is cracked, and the driver’s seatbelt guide is attached to the seat using double-sided tape. A wind deflector is included in the sale.
A Motorsport steering wheel fronts chrome-ringed instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The digital odometer shows 19k miles.
The 3.2-liter S52 straight-six was factory rated at 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. The vapor vent solenoid is said to have been replaced in November 2020.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
