Overview of 1998 BMW Z3 M Roadster For Sale by Owner

Launched in the late 1990s, the BMW Z3 M Roadster took the compact proportions of the Z3 and infused them with the heart and chassis tuning of BMW’s M division. This 1998 example is finished in Imola Red II over a black interior with a black convertible soft top, presenting as both a driver’s car and a collectible modern classic. With just 30,900 miles reported, it is powered by a 3.2-liter naturally aspirated inline-six paired to a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering the raw, analog driving experience enthusiasts prize.

Exterior and Interior

The Imola Red II paintwork highlights the muscular flared fenders and purposeful stance that distinguish the M Roadster from the standard Z3. BMW Style 40 “Roadstar” wheels, exclusive to the model, sit beneath wider arches, giving the car its aggressive yet balanced proportions. The black convertible soft top contrasts sharply with the red exterior, while the interior features black leather and driver-focused ergonomics. Together, the presentation captures both the elegance and sportiness that make this model enduringly desirable.

Engine

Under the hood is BMW’s 3.2-liter inline-six, renowned for its high-revving character and linear power delivery. Paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, it sends power to the rear wheels, offering the classic front-engine, rear-drive layout that defines BMW’s golden era of sports cars. With a curb weight under 3,200 pounds, short gearing, and a firm M-tuned suspension, the Z3 M Roadster delivers sharp handling and a visceral connection to the road.
