I will assist with inspection (if desired) and shipping

I have 100% satisfaction rating with eBay and plan on keeping it. Please don't hesitate to contact me for more information, pictures, references, questions or just to chat about this M roadster.

This M Roadster is very well sorted, outstanding condition, mechanically and cosmetically. The new suspension makes this car handles like it is on rails; Dinan stage 2 upgrade yields F1 like exhaust tone, power increase from 5,000 rpm to 6800 rpm is incredible; power top is in excellent shape; tires are fresh with plenty of rubber.

1st owner was an exotic car collector; car was serviced at BMW dealers in the greater Chicago area. He died of metastatic melanoma at a young age in 2011. The car apparently was not driven much in 2010-2011. His good friend obtained the car in 2012 as part of the estate and moved to Texas.  He sold the car to me and at that time he noted despite having the transmission shift pins replaced and clutch replaced, the M roadster was still hard to shift.

 @ 74395 miles May2012

New front and rear struts, bushings, control arm bushings, front sway bar link left, water pump, slotted high performance front &rear rotors and pads, thermostat, glove box support upgrade & 4 wheel alignment

I drove the car for about 2 months, noted it ran smooth, had mega power, but it shifted with difficulty. Inspection at Speirs Automotive Engineering revealed terminal transmission requiring replacement. If you're a car nut like me, you are familiar with this situation...once you’re in there, you don’t want to have to work on it again, so…

@75182 miles August 2012

Replaced transmission (donor from Bavarian Auto, 24,000 mile California car, 6 months warranty), UUC Stage 2 M5 clutch conversion & lightweight flywheel, throw out bearing,clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, hoses, engine mounts, shift lever bushings, release arm spring, flex disc, drive shaft , replaced differential (donor from Bavarian Auto, 24,000 mile California car, 6 month warranty), transmission fluid, differential fluid, service A/C system, Freon,exhaust gaskets, hangers…total cost $4,678,92

In anticipation of the next scheduled maintenance interval, it comes with new idler pulley, belt tensioner pulley, hydraulic accessory belttensioner assembly, accessory belt, A/C drive belt & A/C belt tensioner

If your state requires catalytic convert inspection, you mayneed to replace the catalytic converter. It was gutted by the original owner @the time of the Dinan upgrade; it looks stock from the outside. After market catalytic converter is available from ECS tuning for $251.71 (http://www.ecstuning.com/BMW-Z3-M_Roadster-S54_3.2L/ES2063872/)

Only cosmetic issues are the following:  BMW trunk emblem has clear coat breakdown, right front bumper on the top surface in front of the headlight has a patch of clear coat fade, steering wheel rubber air bag cover is oxidized slightly (steeringwheel leather is in excellent shape), wheels have mild clear coat worming

 

addendum 05.21.13:  thank you for your interest in my 1999 BMW M Roadster; yes the extra set of 18 inch wheels have good rubber on the rears,  but the front tires need replacing. All 4 are true/straight. Cheers! Tom

BMW puts a sheep in wolf's clothing with 2 Series Active Tourer M Sport

Thu, 27 Mar 2014

BMW is charting new territory with the 2 Series. No, not the two-door model - that's just the kind of rear-drive coupe for which the brand is known. But the Active Tourer (which only shares its series designation with the coupe) is a front-drive tall hatchback/MPV category buster, and that's not exactly what comes to mind when you think of Bimmers. As such, the 2 Series Active Tourer is bound to turn off some of the brand's faithful, but this latest M Sport kit could at least ease the pain somewhat.
The sport package for the Active Tourer packs all the usual suspects: a more aggressive aero kit, retuned suspension, blacked-out grille, 17- or 18-inch alloys and an interior with sports seats trimmed in blue-stitched Alcantara. Top all that off with an Estoril Blue paint job and you've got a compact family hauler that might look the part, and maybe handle a bit tighter, yet it naturally stops short of the full M treatment (or even an M Performance spec like you'd find in the M235i coupe). All of which is probably just as well, because that might be the only thing BMW purists would object to more than the existence of a front-drive BMW MPV in the first place.

BMW 4 Series production coupe caught on commercial shoot

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

Despite filming at 2:00 AM and at an undisclosed location, BMW minders filming a commercial for the fast-approaching 4 Series coupe were unable to ward off the long lenses of spy photographers. The result, as you can see here, is our first-ever look at the production version of BMW's new coupe, completely uncovered.
The night shots may be a little bit grainy, but the fast-moving 4 Series still looks pretty good with its camo closeted, matching the svelte lines of the concept car we saw in Detroit this winter. Expect that the 4 coupe will come to market with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder in 428i trim, and a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder in 435i spec.
Take your time looking through our gallery of movie-star 4 Series photographs, and tell us what you think about the uncovered Bimmer, in comments.

Cars we're thankful we drove in 2019

Thu, Nov 28 2019

We drove a lot of cars in 2019, and there's still a month to go. We drove them in our home office in Michigan, at our remote offices in Seattle, Portland, Ore., and Columbus, Ohio, and throughout the globe on myriad press launches. We could count them, but hey, that seems boastful.  Instead, we want to be thankful. Not only for the opportunity to do this wonderful task some might describe as a "job," but for the new, shiny cars that brighten our days (and most hopefully yours). We asked our fellow editors which car they were most thankful to drive in 2019 ... here are our answers. 2019 Hyundai Veloster N Performance Senior Editor Alex Kierstein Every once in a while a car comes along that changes the narrative on a company or its segment, and everyone scrambles to experience it for themselves. This year, for me, that car’s the Veloster N Performance, perhaps the most transformative car the companyÂ’s ever built. Everyone whoÂ’s driven it, here and elsewhere, says it captures all those intangibles that make great driving hatchbacks great. And IÂ’m thankful that I got a go in it before all of them left the fleet, because it does. It upends the segment long dominated by the GTI, a car that nails its brief. The N is rowdy and loud, sure, but it also has some of the most deftly tuned suspension IÂ’ve come across in a front driver. My advice: if youÂ’re in the market for something fun and unique, go test drive a Veloster N. I think youÂ’ll be thankful you did. 2019 Hyundai Veloster N View 47 Photos 2019 Audi E-Tron Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder IÂ’m pleased that I got to drive the Audi E-Tron. ThatÂ’s high praise for a year in which I also drove the stellar Jaguar I-Pace. The E-Tron, while not as sporty as the Jaguar, is excellently executed, and feels like a more refined, polished offering. ItÂ’s quick, whisper-quiet, comfortable, stylish inside and out, and incredibly sturdy. Some may lament that it doesnÂ’t do much to stand out from ICE vehicles, but I donÂ’t think it needs to. What it does need to do is win over the electro-skeptical, and I think Audi put its best foot forward with a crossover that can do just that, and more. So, yeah, not only am I thankful that I got to drive it, IÂ’m glad that itÂ’s compelling enough that itÂ’ll hopefully make potential customers feel the same. 2020 Audi E-Tron View 13 Photos 2013 Peugeot 508 West Coast Editor James Riswick My choice totally sucks.
