This is a very fine condition 2000 model year BMW M Roadster. It is not a concours winner, but is in very well maintained condition and all the important stuff is right, such as:
- No rust ever anywhere
- No dents or dings
- Shiny/glossy, well maintained original paint
- Interior does not look tired or worn, very fresh, no rips/tears
- New Dunlop Direzzas all around; (255/40) rears within last 1,000 miles, (225/45) fronts within last 10K.
- I believe the last owner put a new cloth top on just before I bought it, because the condition is excellent. Only minor fold scuff on plastic window. You can see top and window condition in photos, very good condition.
- New sway bar links/bushings (checked rotors and pads while I had everything off, and they look fine for another 10K anyway.
- Polished head light lenses last fall
- New emblems on hood and decklid, as they were starting to fade a little
- 3 owner car, all BMW enthusiasts who took good care of it, including frequent synthetic oil changes and all filters.
The car's few imperfections
- small piece (about 3'8" long) of driver's door tweeter bezel missing, I took a picture of it
- normal stone pecking and curb rash for a vehicle its age (worst of it in the photo)
- Analog electric clock does not keep accurate time
- Windows go down somewhat slowly, but go up normal speed. Might need some lube on weatherstrips.
- Shift knob emblem has air bubbles under the acrylic. It didn't bother me enough to replace it with a non-original part
While this car is not concours condition, it is a well maintained driver, that has NEVER seen snow, and rarely been in rain. I only goes out from May to October after all the salt has been washed off the road. You could take this car to your local car show and be very proud of her. If you have been following these cars values, you know that the M roadsters have already begun to appreciate (not so the normal Z3s yet); so it is a decent investment as well. I love this car and do not want to sell it, but need to make room in the garage. The car doesn't need anything, it is ready to give years of pleasure and reliable driving.
The car is priced very fairly with the buy it now very close to blue book, and the reserve below book. If you are realistic, a very fine car is waiting for you. All funds must clear before I will release vehicle, and I will support whoever you choose for shipping, but shipping is buyer responsibility. Have fun, and good luck!

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
BMW Smart Charging App helps drivers charge for less
Tue, Jun 10 2014As electric vehicles proliferate and people try to conserve energy, moves toward smart charging seem only natural. Now, BMW is offering smarter charging, and it should mean more money in the pockets of its customers when they charge at home. BMW owners who drive one of the company's i vehicles will be able to use the BMW Smart Charging App that taps into a national energy rate database (powered by Genability) to allow drivers to automate charging during off-peak hours when electricity usage costs are lower. Charging vehicles at these lower rates could save drivers as much as $400 a year, BMW says. It's a simple idea, but one that could make BMW's EVs even more attractive to potential customers. The BMW Smart Charging App is initially available to customers who have leased a BMW ActiveE from the company's 2012 test fleet, a group whom BMW dubs Electronauts, and many of whom are also early adopters of the BMW i3. The app will then become available to all BMW i3 and i8 customers beginning in 2015. The Smart Charging App is integrated with the BMW i Remote App, which links with the BMW ConnectedDrive interface to also allow drivers to monitor charging times and vehicle status, adjust charging settings and even adjust vehicle temperature so the car is ready before the driver gets in the vehicle. The Smart Charging App is available for iOS and Android devices. Find more information in the press release from BMW below. BMW Launches First App to Automate the Home Charging Process for BMW i Electric Vehicles. 09.06.2014 BMW Smart Charging App Determines Optimal Times for Charging Electric Vehicles Based on Rates and Calculates Cost. Woodcliff Lake, NJ – June 9, 2014... The new BMW Smart Charging App makes it possible for BMW i customers to automatically identify the best rates and times for charging their electric vehicles at home. Developed by the BMW Group and available for Android and iOS devices, the BMW Smart Charging App is integrated with the BMW i Remote App, which allows drivers to get vehicle information via their smartphone. The BMW Smart Charging App has the potential to save customers as much as $400 annually on their electric bills. BMW is the first automotive manufacturer to offer this automated and fully integrated functionality. In its initial phase, the BMW Smart Charging App is currently available to BMW Electronauts.
BMW dismisses Tesla tie-up talk
Tue, Dec 2 2014Despite recent rumors to the contrary, don't expect to see much collaboration between Tesla and BMW in the near future. Based on some rather prickly statements from the German automaker, Elon Musk might have even burnt some bridges in Bavaria with his latest proclamations. The spat stems from Musk's recent interview with German magazine Der Spiegel where he discusses future collaboration with BMW on "battery technology or charging stations" and the possibility of a battery factory in Germany. But apparently, any future tie-ups are news to the Bavarian automaker. In an interview with the German business publication Wirtschafts Woche, an unnamed spokesperson for the company claims Musk said it all for PR value and swats down most of the statements. BMW has no intention of acquiring Tesla shares, and they aren't working together on any tech. There's not much chance for future cooperation on a battery factory in Germany, either. BMW believes that the cells can just as easily be purchased from suppliers, like other auto parts. The one slight concession is that the spokesperson said that the German automaker would be willing to supply Tesla with carbon fiber. That's not an exclusive offer, though, and the company is open to negotiate such a deal with any interested automaker.
