Fun with a capital M

The '98 model was the first year for the M version of the Z3 and has the S52 engine with 240 bhp and about 238 ft lbs of torque. Combine this power with a tuned suspension and a mere 3000 lbs of empty weight, and you have the definition of 'pocket rocket.' While the later 2001/2002 model year versions of the (Z3) M Roadster had a more powerful (and more complicated to maintain) engine rated at 315 bhp, the additional HP is pretty much useless on American roads and highways, unless you just liked having your neck snapped back from standing starts, that is. The M Roadster has a lower and more aggressive stance than the Z3, and it's a head turner. The M Roadster just plain ROCKS.

M-Roadster is a ball to drive. Lots of torque, retro-look, smooth and responsive. Sophisticated. This is a sports car, not a grocery-getter hence, little storage. If you like to hang your arm over the door, and let your hair blow, this is the car. The M is a monster and is deceptively fast.

The M Roadster is super. Great styling, performance and handling. Reliable, I purchased mine in 1998 and have yet to have a problem.

This car is the single best car I've driven and had the pleasure to own. It's ablities to corner, accelerate, and not to mention turn heads of everyone who sees it. It's braking is superior to that of any car I've ever driven. It's safety in an accident, is unmatched. The car, hugs you in place, while it hugs every curve in the road. You don't drive this car. You DRIVE it.
