To all that saw this car listed previously, my apologies for the delay and I appreciate your patience.

This is my 2002 BMW M Roadster with only 18,900 miles.  The car is Laguna Seca Blue with a black and grey leather interior. Add-ons / extras include stainless roll bars (originals boxed and included in sale), Dinan front strut bar, NIB floor mats (originals still in car), NIB rear window (original is fine, but the plastic windows do age. You're ahead of the curve with this car), illuminated chrome shift knob (original boxed and included in sale), Dinan Diff. support reinforcement kit (not installed), and Four new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires mounted on freshly refinished wheels (they look awesome!), Hamann pedals (not installed), custom oil cap, and NIB OE BMW car cover.  Books, tools, spare, pump, two wind blockers (one OEM & one Plexiglas), and original Monroney / window sticker included. 

I am the second owner.  The car was originally owned in Colorado and female driven.  Car has always been garaged until recently and has never been driven in the rain; at least not by me and that is what I was told when I purchased the car.  Due to my house being remodeled and the subsequent lose of my garage space, the car is now temporarily outside.  However, it is double covered (water-proof & breathable Tyvek cover) and padded.  Car looks beautiful!  In my opinion, the stainless roll bars look awesome and give the car a much sportier and true roadster look compared to stock.  However, you will get the originals and swapping them is a very easy task.  The Dinan Differential support kit was not installed on the recommendation of my local Dinan dealer based on how I drive the car.  If you live in the Mountains or plan to drive it hard, have it installed.  The car has been driven less than 1500 miles during the last 2-1/2 years.

This is a very clean car.  Notice the factory paint marks and cosmoline in the pictures (light brown/dull/dirty looking stuff).  That said, I want to be as honest as possible and the car is not perfect.  Being a car with a low nose that spent most of its life in Colorado, it does have some rock chips on the nose.  There are two small scratches by each front "fender" (I will add pictures).  Of more concern would be the passenger side skirt that was scratched in storage (I will add picture).  I took the car to a BMW certified body shop that has a very good reputation here in Atlanta and they will repair it for $300.  They can also repair the chips and scratches, but advised me not to do so.  I also recently found out that the front spoiler has been painted.  The color is a perfect match and was not noticed when I had the car inspected.  At this time, I am not planning to have the side skirt repaired.  Individuals get picky about this sort of work and I'm going to let the new owner do what they want done.  I have priced the car accordingly.  I will give the buyer the printed estimates.  The side bolster on the left of the drivers seat has normal wear.  The rest of the seats look new. This everything I can think of that a potential buyer should know of which I am aware, but feel free to ask any questions.  The car is a great fun, fast, and appreciating ride.

With only around 1600 LHD units produced, I believe these M cars are true modern collectables and the numbers back me up.  Values have been increasing over the past few years.  I can't remember the exact production numbers, but the number of these cars produced in this color combination was in the teens.  At least one of those is believed to have been totaled.  There was an easy way to look this up online, but I can't find the site.

The Roadster will be for sale locally and I reserve the right to end this listing at any time.  Please feel free to ask any questions.  Cars is sold as is, where is.  I am willing to assist in any shipping or inspections.  NO JOY RIDERS.  Before any test drive, you must have valid drivers license, proof of insurance, AND a $500 cash deposit that I will hand back to you after the test drive if nothing bad happens.  SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY.  NO HOLDING. $1000 non-refundable deposit will be due within 24hrs of sale.

Thank you for looking!

BMW patents strange three-cylinder pushrod engines, perhaps for cruiser motorcycle

Thu, Mar 12 2015

For decades BMW's motorcycles were easily identified by the two opposed cylinders sticking out of each side of the bike. While you can still find this layout on some of its products, these days the company also uses a variety of other layouts, depending on the model line. Based on European patents, there might even be a Bimmer in the ranks eventually with an absolutely bizarre-looking W3 configuration. BMW actually has two separate patents on these W3 designs, and both of them have the goal of cramming three cylinders into the space of a traditional V-twin. The first splays the cylinder out into a fan shape with pushrods operating the valves. The description submitted to the World Intellectual Property Organization describes the solution as, "The embodiment according to the invention represents an as of yet unknown type of W-3 reciprocating piston internal combustion engine having cylinder angles which can be largely freely sized." The other solution is more of a modification to the traditional V-twin. Two of the cylinders share a crankpin, but the third has its own and is positioned inside the angle of the V. It's a very odd-looking engine. With BMW's assertion that these designs are meant to fit in place of a traditional V-twin, Jalopnik speculates that they could be for a future cruiser from the company, and that would make sense. While brand offers a line of sport tourers with the K1600 line, it doesn't have something more classic to take on the likes of the Ducati Diavel. Creating such a weird engine would probably grab early interest from riders.

BMW readying Spartanburg expansion for X7 production

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

Prior to the debut of the original X5 in 1999, the idea of a BMW crossover might have seemed like heresy. But here we are, fifteen years removed from the Frank Stephenson-penned design, and the Bavarian automaker has expanded its crossover lineup to include the X1, X3, X4 and X6, and it's showing no sign of slowing down.
We recently reported that BMW is planning on slotting an X2 in at the bottom of the range between the X1 and X3, but now it's being widely reported that it's got an even larger one to put in at the top of its utility line. That, of course, would be the X7, a long-rumored three-row model that would give BMW a large family hauler to challenge the Mercedes-Benz GL.
According to The Wall Street Journal, BMW is expanding its assembly plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, to accommodate production of the X7 alongside the X3, X4 and X5 that it already builds there for local consumption.

BMW working with Dainese to put airbags in motorcycle suits [w/video]

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

Addressing the safety concerns of its customers, BMW Motorrad is co-developing a rider suit with Dainese to feature something that's much more common in automobiles: airbags.
Starting with Dainese's D-air Protect System, which is made up of inflatable protectors that deploy in 15 milliseconds, the two companies will integrate the technology into a BMW Motorrad brand, one-piece racing suit, the DoubleR RaceAir. Later a different, street-oriented airbag system that can be retrofitted to bikes will be offered to Beemer riders.
The DoubleR RaceAir is expected to be presented at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan in November, after all required crash testing has been completed.
