This is a super clean, exceptionally well-kept 1999 BMW Z3M Roadster finished in the rare Cosmo Schwarz Metallic; only 516 were produced in this color globally. The odometer reflects its true reading of 86k miles and was factory optioned with the desirable style 40 17” staggered wheels.
Our Z3M is all stock for motor and transmission and runs flawlessly. The factory S52 motor is a 3.2-liter inline-six paired with a five-speed manual transmission. The S52B32 inline-six was factory rated at 240 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque for the North American market. The S52 is an extremely stout motor and has the glorious straight 6 sound that BMW was famous for.
Below is the Factory Options list:
M Leather Steering Wheel
Sport Seats
Heated front Seats

Carfax reports states 5 owners however:
OWNER #1 / #2: (1999-2015)
Was the same person, what initially started off as a lease ended up becoming a purchase which led to the re-registration.
Owner #3 / #4: (2015-2025)
Also the same owner, An older gentleman who is from NJ but then moved to South Florida, following the new registration. The “3rd” owner bought it from the original owner in NJ and owned it for a decade.
Owner #5: (Purchased in 2025 to 2026)
Performed the most recent preventative maintenance:
Motor & Tranny Mounts
Oil change, new filter & oil filter housing gasket
(6) new spark plugs
Transmission fluid change
Rear differential fluid change
x2 hood shocks
Subframe was inspected but showed no signs of wear and was left un-touched
Known Quirks and feature:
Driver interior door-handle is loose (common issue on this chassis)
Electric convertible top motor doesn't work, can manually open easily (one-handed operation to open/close) honestly better in this configuration
Airbag light is on due to Euro Steering wheel
Some rock chips on the front bumper, normal road wear for a car of this age
All in all this car needs nothing but a new owner that will love and enjoy it as the previous owners have. This generation of BMW coupe’s are heavily slept on as they offer all the driving capabilities & reliability of an E36/46 M3 without the added tax bracket.
If you have any questions at all, don't hesitate to reach out.
