2000 Bmw Z3 M Roadster Convertible 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars

You are bidding on a near-perfect 2000 BMW M Roadster with a clean title.  This is my 2nd Z3 Roadster after owning a 2.8L for over 12 years.  As such, I am very familiar with the issues of the Z3 model line and have taken great pride ensuring this M Roadster is in excellent condition.  She has been garage kept under my ownership and the previous owner. 

It's sad to let her go, but I have 2-other cars, a 2-year old, and a job which requires me to travel quite a lot.  I have driven her over 2,000 miles in the past year, but properly prep her for winter storage and when I'm out of town.  I hope it goes to an auto or BMW enthusiast who will take care of this roadster.

She currently has approximately 35,260 miles and is in spectacular mechanical condition.  She's 99% stock except for a radiator brass bleeder screw and a ZHP shift knob.  The Harmon Kardon Speakers, BMW Radio/CD player, power-top, power-seats, power-windows, ice-cold AC, heater, lights, windshield wipers, cruise control, etc all work without any issues.  The engine starts immediately and the exciting exhaust purr has not diminished after all these years.

The quick facts about this car:
35,260 miles
5-speed manual
Leather interior
3.2 liter in-line 6 cylinder engine (known internally to BMW and enthusiasts as the "S52" engine) that produces 240 HP and 236 lb/ft torque
Limited Slip Differential
Automatic Stability Control plus Traction (ASC+T), can be turned off
Produced on April 8, 1999
Of approximately 8,900 S52 M Roadsters (1998-2000), only 211 produced with Estoril Blue exterior, Black Interior, and Black Convertible Top combination

The body, paint, engine, and interior conditions are immaculate.

The convertible top is in excellent shape with the minor exception of the top coming free from the rear window.  Most importantly, the top is not frayed and the rear window bead is absolutely fine.

The tires are approximately 3,000 miles from new.

There are some curb rashes to 3 of 4 wheels, which is to be expected for a 13 year old car. 

I have the owner's manual, all keys (2-master, 1-valet, 1-emergency), and the BMW First Aid kit.

I have the radio code - will come in extremely handy if/when you disconnect the battery!

Major issues with the Z3 model line:
Old/Leaking/Cracking cooling system - NONE, radiator, radiator hoses, expansion tank, thermostat, thermostat housing, and water pump all replaced in 2011
Rear Sub-frame separating from car - NONE, no indications of "popped" welds in the trunk and/or differential separating per my pre-purchase inspection and my quarterly visual inspections

Minor, but inconvenient issues which plagues the Z3 model line:
Broken Seat Belt guides - NONE, guides are in perfect condition
Sliding/Rocking Seats - NONE, seats do not slide/rock
