The 2001 M Roadster is extremely rare, with only 1200 or so "S54" M Roadsters made in the 2001-2002 run, before being retired. Out of this limited production, only 3 were made in this color combination!!!! You are looking at 1 of 3 of these cars in existence. From February of 2001, these "M" Cars came with the S54 Engine that produced 315 horsepower. BMW publishes an official 0-60 time of 5.1 seconds. However, it's also been tested by just about every reputable auto magazine out there, and most agree that the car is capable of a 4.5 time, depending on the driver. In 2001, it was faster than all of the Porsche variants, with the exception of the turbo. The bottom line is that this car is really, really fast for what you pay. Braking is excellent and can get you from 60 to zero in only about 115 feet.
Having the power of 315 horses under your right foot, and the ability to unleash them in a tire-smoking roar of Teutonic fury under your left foot, really becomes a temptation. The M Roadster delivers 251 ft/lbs of torque to the rear wheels and BMW has geared the car so you get near the maximum torque throughout the power band so you're not wandering through the gears. You can actually feel yourself being pushed back into the seat as you accelerate hard.
The M Roadster has DSC stability control, which is designed to keep you out of trouble on the road. You can turn the computer on and off, which means that unlike in a Porsche or Mercedes, you can get allow yourself to have fun. The huge tires keep the car glued to the road, and the perfect 50/50 weight distribution makes negotiating the curves a breeze. In the straights this car is an absolute rocket, and in the curves it feels like a slot racer. The M Roadster's gearbox is a five speed designated ZF Type C 5. The gearing system is designed so maximum torque can be applied throughout a wide range of the power band. Shifts are crisp and quick. The gearbox is consistently complimented as being one of the strongest points of the M Roadster.
The styling cues of the M Roadster give you a general feeling that it's fast. The rear quarters are much wider than the standard Z3; this is to accommodate the M's wider stance and larger tires. The rear license plate housing is mounted on the trunk, versus the bumper, since there is no room for it between the M's four stainless steel exhaust pipes. The M Roadster doesn't have the "gills" that you see on the Z3, rather they have faux chrome vents as homage to the old BMW 507. The front spoiler The Z3M sits slightly lower and wider. The M's only come with the sport seats and the side bolsters do come in handy when you push the car through curves. The top is lined, as are all of the post 2000 Z3's, and this is a nice touch, especially in the winter. The M versions have a three spoke steering wheel. The gearshift housing has a chrome metal ring which secures the leather boot to the center console.
Although this is a driver's car, the creature comforts aren't spared. There are automatic locks, electric windows, heated seats, air conditioning, auto-dimmer rearview mirror, full leather seats, Harmon-Kardon speakers and subwoofer, and comes with front and side airbags. The car is also pre-wired for an alarm, phone system, and six disc CD-changer. All in all, this car is a true racer with all of the creature comforts to make it a reliable daily driver.
The 2001 BMW M Roadster comes with very convenient features such as front and side impact airbags with intelligent occupant sensors, variable intermittent windshield wipers, AM/FM/CD premium audio, traction control and dynamic stability control just to name a few. It also has a flat-tire monitor and ABS. Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), which is activated with a console switch, can improve traction under difficult conditions; this truly is one of the best luxury convertibles money can buy AND YOU CAN DRIVE IT IN ANY CLIMATE!!!
This Vehicle has very expensive DINAN Performance Upgrades!! This is a DINAN "Stage 4" 2001 BMW Z3M S54 Roadster installed by a franchise BMW dealership. The vehicle has:
DINAN Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake
DINAN Larger Mass Air Flow Meter
DINAN Big Bore Throttle Bodies
DINAN Stage 4 Software
DINAN Exhaust (We swapped the stock exhaust back on because nobody liked the design of the single large tips and preferred/wanted the stock quad exhaust. The DINAN exhaust is not included with the sale as we no longer have it.)
These high-end DINAN parts amount to thousands of dollars in parts and labor and yields a VERY fast BMW Z3 M Roadster.
This BMW M Roadster has the Original "Style 40" wheels that have been refinished and are slightly off from the factory finish, which is known to peel - these factory wheels are also known as '"M" Roadstar' wheels. The wheel sizes are 17"X7.5" in the front and 17"x9" in the rear and are exclusive to the M Roadster and M Coupe. The front tire size 225/45ZR17 and the rear tire size is 245/4ZR17. The M Roadster does not come with a spare wheel. The tool kit is present and has the original BMW tire mobility kit. Even with the amount of power from this modified S54 engine, this car has tons of traction and grip; it REALLY PULLS HARD! We have 1 Key with Factory Alarm Remote for this car. The factory tonneau cover will also be included with the sale.
This 2001 BMW "S54" M Roadster is in great shape for a 16 year old car. The body is clean and free of any major blemishes, scratches, or dents. Like any used car there might be various minor imperfections around the car from everyday driving. The front of the car has some rock chips and the trunk had a spoiler at one time. The mounting holes for the spoiler were sealed and plugged with paint-matched plugs to keep the truck sealed. The interior is in excellent shape and was obviously well-maintained by a non-smoker. The seats are in great condition and there is no significant wear on the interior. There is a small crack in the lower driver corner of the windshield. The A/C blows strong and ice cold. This M Roadster does have an upgraded sound system including an Alpine CDE-HD148BT headunit with Bluetooth microphone located at the top of the windshield. The car is pre-wired for a subwooferand has a contoller located by the driver footwell. Don't miss this opportunity to own one of the BEST LUXURY CONVERTIBLES EVER MADE!
