210,000 miles and still drives like new

I purchased this car new towards the end of 1999. This car has performed amazingly well, is fun to drive, responsive, reliable, handles great, has plenty of power, is comfortable, and is surprisingly affordable regarding repairs. This is an everyday car for me. It has rarely broken down. Here would be the wishes: A glass rear window instead of plastic (I replaced the top once since owning the car, but the plastic window will start to get a yellowish tint over time), a spare tire (this car doesn't have one and if on a long trip and getting a blow out could be an issue- but I have not had this happen to me), an automatic hard top convertible instead of cloth (nitpicking), cheaper replacement speakers (the bass driver mounted on the center console behind and to the right of the driver blew out and is about $600.00 to replace- can't use a generic speaker). Total repair costs since I purchased this car are about $10,000- which is pretty good for a 16 year old car with over 200,000 miles on it. Without a doubt the best car I have ever owned and one I continue to greatly enjoy- hopefully for another 200,000 miles! I highly recommend this car.

Bought the M with relatively high mileage (79K) but it is in great shape. Handles as though it is on tracks and accelerates, in all gears. Like it has jets. Long drives can be a bit difficult (I am almost 6'2" and the seats are a slightly bit hard, but if I take a break every 2 hours, no problem. It's a fun car, always noticed (ty, the cops too :( ) but a real treat to drive. I think I like the lines of this model more than the Z4 but would love to have some of the improvements of the newer Zs -- slightly wider interior, more comfy seats, and a fully automatic top. Otherwise, it's a dream.

I bought a then-new 1999 M Roadster from BMW of Honolulu. It was instant love at first drive. I've never seen a car straighten out the curves on Oahu's famous Tantalus Drive like this one can. I kept it for 7 years. Traded it in for an X5 4.4. Many years later, feeling acute M Roadster withdrawal, while living in remote Shelton, WA I began searching for another M Roadster, the same Estoril Blue. Found one with 55,000 miles in 2021 in Yakima WA. It originally sold from BMW of Honolulu just six months after my 1999! The zing is still there. I defy anybody to drive this car and NOT have it put a big-ass grin on your face. It looks great. It sounds great. It is the most fun I've ever had in a car.

I bought this car from someone who babied the heck out of it and I have continued the tradition. It's a great car that delivers impressive performance, a bit of sex appeal, and much better than expected economy. However, the stock stereo was awful and suspension components were iffy.

Responsive, fun car to drive. 2000 model is somewhat underpowered.

The M Roadster is a nimble and powerful car. With a stock horsepower rating of 240 (with the addition of a chip and intake filter it jumps to 280HP) it has plenty of get up and go. The two-tone cockpit is 2nd to none.
Nice M

The car is a hoot to drive and turns heads. The paint on the front hood tends to get beat up with rocks, especially the black color. The resale value of these cars fell quite a bit in the past few years. I love the car - replace the dunlops with Khumos - much better. Every option is nice and the hardtop is very quiet.
Beautiful car in true M tradition

Beautiful car that is a blast to drive. I believe in the years to come this car will be highly desired by collectors and car enthusiasts for its gracious curves and powerful engine. This car should stand the test of time very well. I have owned my M roadster since May 2000. Other than to replace a defective CD player, the only time this car has spent in the shop was for standard maintenance. 22k miles and going strong as ever.

I've had very few problems with the car over the last 5 years. And the OEM tires are still on it at 25,000 miles! Still a blast to drive. I recent drove the TT Turbo and the Boxster S, and I turned them down for my ole BMW!

Absolute performance at its finest! It's way too easy to cruise in the 80's and 90's with the top down, a smooth (highway) road, and no cops around. Seats hold you in place when cornering, however, they aren't the most comfortable. The M version stands out amongst its Z3 cousins in both appearance and performance. A silver one, with the black/blue interior has no equal.
136mph and strong

Since selling my Z3 and purchasing my first M, its been the funnest car yet. After pushing it to 136mph, it felt smooth as silk. BMW really knows how to make the Ultimate Driving Machine. Although the car still seemed hungry for more speed, it pretty much topped off at 136. They didn't make the M model for the hell of it, they made it for the power. Put a rear wing on it, it will stand out more.

This is a very stylish car which begs to be driven. My first test drive I was amazed by the front end power which the Roadster gave. From that point on I was sold. Great car, reliable, and fast! Fun to drive.

Since purchasing a 2000 M Roadster last summer, I'm still looking for any excuse to drive it! The car had only 15,000 miles on the odometer when I bought it and even though I live only a couple of miles from work, I use my days off to explore some of the more deserted canyons in and around the L.A. area. The amazing thing is that I expected the car to much more finicky than it has proven to be . . . get in and go has been the rule since day one. The only down side is the dismal gas milage which has hovered in the mid- teens most of the time, but is probably more due more to my heavy foot than any fault of the vehicle.

The only thing different between this car and the one from the cartoon, is that my car is silver (w/blue-black interior) and I don't have all those nifty gadgets. However, it blows away, performance-wise, nearly every car on the road (exceptions being $100K+ porsches, ferraris, and some corvettes). I've had other sports cars in the past, but this is by far the most exhilerating drive of my life! At 130mph, with the top down, it's still as smooth as a hot knife through butter. I'd be tempted to get the full DINAN upgrade (another $35K though), but I'd be too worried with all that ADDITIONAL performance, I'd probably kill myself.
107,000 miles and still going

I bought this car three weeks ago. In that time I have put over 3000 miles on the car. I think the car could use a little more power but 240 HP is not bad at all. I wish I could tilt the seats themselves, not the back rest. When you are driving you seem to block the clock. I drive this car very hard and I still get above 20 MPG! With most cars I have felt the need to speed to have fun but you will have fun with this car going the speed limit. I can reach everything very easily and I can hit the ASC botton when my hand is on the stick. Build quality, are you kidding me, its a bmw, it dosen't get any better than that. I have 107000 miles on my M roadster. It was a CPO.
Most fun you can have in public

Very fun car to drive, especially if you can find some curves. Northwest Arkansas is very nice to "test" the curves. We 1st had a 1997 1.8 Z3 and the power difference is amazing. Power is addicting... never too much. No mechanical issues. Since car has been lowered with H&R springss, it is very hard on tires. Khumo's ride and perform the best overall. and are afforable $ 115. Very safe cars, I was T boned by a truck at 45mpg and it only knocked the wind out of me. Door held up very well and prevented truck from sitting in my lap. If you can find a well maintained M buy it.

Wonderful tossible car, great engine. There are some inherent design problems, i.e. the shock mounts, lack of cross bracing, an awful cd/radio system, a plastic rear window, and an off center steering wheel. It is a strong solid perfomer nonetheless and I think, though not as good a car as the z4, it is a hell of a lot more interesting.
Love it!

Even after 4 years, this is still the ultimate car for me. It's performance will keep up with any car on the road, and its style turns heads. More than any other car I've driven, the M Roadster feels "connected" to the road. My 6 foot 1 inch frame fits nicely in the car, something not possible in an NSX or S2000. After 4 years, not a single problem to report.

Bought new with 3 miles on it. Love the 60s style dash and gauges. Great performance. Very reliable, never broke down on me, never. At 43k miles, still has the original brakes and I autocross with it. No shop repairs, just maintenance. I do maintain it very well and everything is like new. I have no intention of sell this car unless someone hits me. Great car.
