Description
Introduced in 1997 as the high-performance version of the Z3 roadster, the M Roadster features more aggressive bodywork, widened rear fenders, larger brakes, a retuned suspension, and, in North American form, the S52 inline-six borrowed from the E36 M3. This example is one of 2,763 M Roadsters produced for the 1998 model year and one of 1,165 finished in Cosmos Black Metallic over Black Nappa leather, and it has been extensively modified by Dinan with Stage 3 performance engine software, a cold air intake, a high-flow throttle body, a front strut tower brace, carbon fiber engine covers, and a complete cooling-system overhaul. Carrying factory hardtop preparation, this Z3 M is now being offered for auction in Virginia.
Finished in Cosmos Black Metallic, this M Roadster features the model's widened rear fenders, a power-operated soft top, a green-stripe windshield, and heated washer nozzles. The car rides on its factory wheels wrapped in Continental tires from 2023. The seller describes the paint as near-flawless and states that the hood and driver's-side quarter panel have been repainted. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a CARFAX report noting undercarriage damage in 2003.
The Black Nappa leather interior features heated sport seats, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, and a roll-bar protection system, along with Dinan pedal covers. The seller notes wear on the driver's seat bolster and two small repaired tears in the seat bottom, while confirming that all gauges, electronics, and accessories are in proper working order. The CARFAX report indicates a possible odometer rollback.
