This 1999 BMW M Roadster is one of 274 finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over black Nappa leather for the North American market for the model year. It has been registered in California from new, and it remained in the same owner’s care from June 2001 until earlier this year. The car is powered by a 3.2-liter S52 inline-six linked with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential, and equipment includes a black convertible soft top, silver-finished 17″ Style 40 wheels, heated sport seats, a Dovox RS-21 stereo, a Harman Kardon sound system, air conditioning, and cruise control. This M Roadster has 74k miles and is now offered by the selling dealer at no reserve with service records and a clean California title.
The body is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic (309), and features include a replacement power-operated black convertible soft top, front fender vents, and quad exhaust outlets. The Carfax report indicates that the car was towed following a July 2003 accident, which resulted in damage to the front and rear. The rear window is cloudy. The windshield and the soft-top hydraulic cylinders are said to have been replaced in preparation for the sale.
Silver-finished 17″ Style 40 wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season tires. The car is equipped with Automatic Stability Control, and braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs.
The cabin features black Nappa leather covering the heated sport seats, door panel inserts, and center console. Amenities include roll hoops, air conditioning, cruise control, a Dovox RS-21 stereo, and a Harman Kardon sound system. The passenger’s seat belt guide is broken, and the glove box liner is discolored.
The M-branded leather-wrapped steering wheel features tri-color stitching and frames a tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline, a 160-mph speedometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. An airbag alert is illuminated. The digital odometer indicates 74k miles.
The 3.2-liter S52B32 inline-six features VANOS variable valve timing and was factory rated at 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque. The selling dealer tells us that the oil was changed, the coolant was flushed, and the valve cover gasket was replaced in July 2026. Corrosion is present in the engine bay.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Photos depicting corrosion on the underbody are included in the gallery.
The Carfax report shows the aforementioned accident.
The car most recently passed a California emissions test in June 2026.
