EAG Impressions
In the 2000s, one of the best things a manufacturer could do for their sales was to build a car that performed well in enthusiast magazine group tests. Although advertising was important, having automotive journalists vouch for your product was worth far more to buyers who loved driving. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the BMW Z3 M Roadster did remarkably well in group tests, pitted against cars like the Porsche Boxster, Chevrolet Corvette, and Mercedes Benz SLK-32 AMG, and when BMW debuted its Z3 replacement, the Z4 in 2002, there was bound to be an M version in its future. BMW first showed the Z4 M Coupe to the public at the 2005 Frankfurt Motorshow before starting production in the Spring of 2006, while the M Roadster debuted later in the year. Although the new car was devoid of the exaggerated fender flares of the Z3 M, the Z4 M coupe and roadster were much better-engineered cars and were ready to take on whatever competition would be thrown their way.
Overview
The BMW M Roadster represents one of the most analog and engaging open-top M cars ever produced. Built on the E85 Z4 platform and powered by the legendary S54 inline-six, the M Roadster blends compact dimensions, rear-wheel drive, and motorsport-derived engineering into a package that delivers a raw and rewarding driving experience. With its long hood, wide rear haunches, and purposeful stance, the M Roadster remains a standout in BMW’s modern M lineage.
This 2006 BMW M Roadster is finished in Silver Grey Metallic over Black leather and shows just 10,880 miles. The exterior presents in exceptional condition, with great paint clarity and factory-correct details throughout. This example is equipped with the desirable no-navigation “single-hump” dashboard, preserving a cleaner, more driver-focused interior layout. It also features the HiFi Sound System Professional, M sport seats, and heated seats, offering comfort without sacrificing simplicity.
The car rides on BMW Competition Style 163 wheels, which complement the M Roadster’s aggressive proportions and further enhance its visual presence. Inside, the black leather interior remains beautifully preserved, with minimal wear and strong bolsters consistent with the car’s low mileage. All interior surfaces and controls present cleanly, reinforcing the impression of careful ownership and limited use.
In preparation for presentation and sale, this M Roadster will receive Enthusiast Auto Group’s standard intake evaluation and preservation process, a detailed multi-point inspection, verification of fluids, systems, and components, and light recommissioning consistent with EAG’s delivery standards for investment-grade vehicles. All work will be carried out to maintain the car’s originality and ensure mechanical integrity for its next caretaker.
History
With under 11,000 miles, this Silver Grey M Roadster represents a highly preserved example of one of BMW’s most engaging open-air performance cars. Its desirable specification, low mileage, and forthcoming EAG preparation make it an excellent opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a pure, naturally aspirated M experience in an increasingly rare configuration.
