1999 BMW Z3 M Roadster

This 1999 BMW M Roadster was initially delivered to Roadshow BMW in Memphis, Tennessee, and is said to have remained with its first owner in Illinois through 2023. Now showing 24k miles, the car is finished in Estoril Blue Metallic over black Nappa leather and is powered by a 3.2-liter S52 inline-six linked with a five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. It rides on staggered-width 17″ Style 40 wheels and is further equipped with a power-operated Dark Blue convertible top, a Harman Kardon sound system, air conditioning, and heated sport seats. This M Roadster is now offered as part of DriverSource’s 2024 Oktmotorfest Collection with a window sticker, manufacturer’s literature, service records, tools, and Carfax and AutoCheck reports along with a clean Pennsylvania title. This M Roadster is one of 321 finished in Estoril Blue Metallic over black Nappa leather for the North American market for the model year. The car is equipped with a power-operated Dark Blue convertible top and features front fender vents, flared wheel arches, and quad polished exhaust outlets. Silver-finished 17×7.5″ front and 17×9″ rear Style 40 wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires measuring 225/45 and 245/40, respectively. The car is equipped with Automatic Stability Control (ASC), and stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with ventilated front rotors. The heated sport seats are upholstered in black Nappa leather and accompanied by a color-coordinated dash, center console, and door panels. A BMW Business AM/FM cassette stereo is connected to a Harman Kardon sound system, and further amenities include air conditioning, cruise control, and power windows, mirrors, and door locks. The M-branded steering wheel is wrapped in leather and wears tri-color stitching. The instrument cluster houses an M Roadster–branded tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline accompanied by a 160-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. An analog clock is located ahead of the shifter along with readouts for voltage and oil temperature. The digital odometer indicates 24k miles. A mileage inconsistency is listed on the Carfax report in November 2023, though it notes that it may be the result of a clerical error. 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. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. A composite By The Numbers photo has been provided by the selling dealer and shows the chassis tag as well as various body tags and other identifiers around the car. Manufacturer’s literature, a binder of records, and a tool kit will accompany the car along with a window sticker listing factory colors and equipment as well as a total suggested retail price of $43,270. The Carfax report shows the aforementioned mileage inconsistency. The included AutoCheck report can be viewed in the gallery.
