Seller Description

This 2001 BMW M Roadster was first registered in California and later spent time in Washington before it was acquired by the seller in July 2024, and it now indicates 68k miles. Powered by a 3.2-liter S54 inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission, the car is finished in Estoril Blue Metallic over Estoril Blue and black Nappa leather. It also features Dinan Stage 4 suspension, a limited-slip differential, a dark blue soft top, a top boot, staggered-width 17″ Style 40 wheels, air conditioning, cruise control, an illuminated leather-trimmed shift knob, a dashboard-mounted navigation module, a Continental stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, and a Harman Kardon sound system. This M Roadster is offered with factory literature, an M-branded license plate frame, two sets of keys, service records, a Carfax report, and a clean Montana title in the name of the seller’s LLC.

This M Roadster is one of 1,719 North American-market examples finished in Estoril Blue Metallic (335) over Estoril Blue and black Nappa leather for the model year. Features include a power-operated dark blue convertible soft top, a 7″ antenna, front fender vents, and quadruple exhaust outlets. An October 2003 entry on the Carfax report states that the vehicle was inspected after an accident or other incident and notes that the front of the car was damaged.

Staggered-width 17″ Style 40 wheels are mounted with older 225/45 front and 245/40 Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The car is equipped with Dynamic Stability Control and All-Season Traction (AST), and a Dinan Stage 4 Suspension kit was installed in December 2006 by BMW Northwest Inc., of Fife, Washington. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with ventilated rotors.

The cabin features Estoril Blue and black Nappa leather covering the heated sport seats, door panel inserts, and center console. Appointments include air conditioning, cruise control, an alarm system, roll hoops, a dashboard-mounted navigation module, and a Harman Kardon sound system. According to the seller, the trunk welds/differential mounts have been addressed, which can be viewed in the image gallery. Work in June 2024 included fitting a replacement rear console speaker grille, a center console switch blank, an illuminated leather-trimmed shift knob, and a top boot in addition to a Continental stereo with Bluetooth connectivity. A replacement upper seat belt guide was installed in August 2024.

The M-branded leather-wrapped steering wheel features tri-color stitching and blue accents, and it frames a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an 8k-rpm redline, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 68000 miles, approximately 950 of which were added under current ownership.

The 3.2-liter S54B32 inline-six features double-VANOS variable valve timing and a Siemens MSS 54 engine management control system, and a Dinan strut tower brace spans the engine bay. Factory-rated output was 315 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The spark plugs were replaced along with two fuel injectors in June 2024, and the battery was changed in August 2024.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The seller states that the clutch master cylinder was replaced in July 2024, at which time the transmission fluid was flushed.

The Carfax report shows the aforementioned October 2003 damage report and lists history in California, Washington, and Montana.

Bidding up to $24,000

We last saw this roadster for sale about 6 months ago on BMW CCA. What wasn't pictured there is the rare and somewhat ridiculous factory navigation screen. It still has the embroidered armrest and Dinan strut bar as well. Weirdly it was posted with 82k miles back in June and just 68k miles now. I wonder if there's a typo somewhere? The last reported mileage on Carfax is 60,384 miles way back in 2007. Bidding up to $19,500.00 so far.
