Finished in Titanium Silver Metallic over black leather upholstery, this 2006 BMW Z4 M Roadster is one of only 3,042 examples produced for North America between 2006 and 2008. It features a 3.2-liter S54 inline-six engine, a 6-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential, xenon headlights, power-adjustable sport seats, automatic climate control, and 18” Style 224M wheels. Cared for by its original owner for about 16 years and purchased by the seller in 2023, this rare Z4 M Roadster is now being offered for auction once again on PCARMARKET out of New York with approximately 4k miles on the odometer.
Compared to a standard E85 Z4, the M Roadster version features a wider track, a more aggressive front bumper, a sculpted bonnet, and quad exhaust outlets. This example is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic (354) with a black soft top and silver 18” Style 224M alloy wheels. The car rides on 2021 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires measuring 225/45 in front and 255/40 at the rear. Other features include xenon headlamps with washers, rain-sensing wipers, front fender roundels, a rear antenna, dual roll hoops, and quad exhaust tips. The seller notes some scrape marks along the edge of the lower front spoiler and the power convertible top mechanism is inoperable. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The black leather interior features power-adjustable sport bucket seats, a leather three-spoke multifunction M steering wheel, and wood trim decorating the center console and dashboard. Other accessories include M-branded door sill plates and instrument dials, an M-branded gear knob, body-colored inner door handles, automatic climate control, cruise control, a sport button, and a BMW Business CD stereo.
Borrowed from the E46 M3, the Z4 M is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.2-liter S54 inline-six engine with individual throttle bodies and double-VANOS variable valve timing. Up to 330 HP and 262 lb.-ft of torque is sent to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The Z4 M shares its quick-ratio steering rack with the M3 CSL and derives stopping power from ventilated, cross-drilled brake rotors at each corner. The seller notes an oil change was performed in November 2023.
This sale will include the original window sticker, owner’s manuals, service records, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: "Throughout my life, I've owned many vehicles. I buy and sell cars frequently and quickly. The Z4M Roadster is the only car I've ever owned twice. I bought my first Z4M roadster in 2019 and modified it to do light autocross and track duty. It was a high-mileage example with a lot of potential. I ended up selling the car in 2022 and immediately regretted it. In 2023, I saw the opportunity to own this low mileage example listed and jumped on it. I can safely say, this example drives impecable when compared to the high mileage example I had owned before. The clutch catches low to the ground, the shifter notches into place, the suspension is solid, but not punishing. It is an incredible, time-capsule like example of a rare vehicle. Of the vehicles I've owned, the Z4M roadster offers easily the most smiles I've had in a car. Experiencing the high-reving S54 engine packaged in a lightweight, incredible little roadster is something to be savored for any car enthusiast. Of the 3,042 examples made in the North American market, this is likely one of the lower mileage examples you will come across. Please bid with confidence, and if you have any questions I could answer I will be happy to assist throughout the auction. Happy bidding!"

@EnzoNYC18 - The reason for lack of service records is the fact the car is such low mileage, there's really not much to be done. As you can see I only added 500~ miles during my ownership.
- Reason for selling is two-fold. I don't drive the car enough to justify owning it. It's my third car and I think it should go to an owner that would use it as intended and not just sit in a garage. Also, I just bought a new vehicle so I would like to sell to recover some of that cost.
- The motor is not located in the trunk as far as I know. Currently, the motor which operates the raising and lowering of the roof is not operating. The car has a three motor system. There is a motor which latches the top in place at the windshield and a motor which latches the car in the down position - both those motors are working perfectly. You can manually raise and lower the top into position on your own. Takes about 10 seconds to operate the top manually.
- There are no cosmetic issues with the car aside from the tiny scrapes on the very bottom of the front lip shown in the photographs. (Barely visible unless you're looking underneath the car). The door panels are in original condition, they are not sagging.
- I'm absolutely open to a local inspection to anyone who would like. If that's something you would like to do, please send me a private message and we can arrange.
@EnzoNYC18 click on his username to see the last time he listed the car and it bid up to 28,500. This was 2 months ago. Am surprised to see the car back up for auction again, figured it would be in the DT if anything.
@seller - crazy how low mileage this is - a true time capsule like you mentioned - I recently acquired a 3.0i roadster but the M is calling my name - roadster should be a much better bargain than the coupe as well
Couple of questions:
- Not many service records in the carfax can you talk about recent service?
- you mentioned regretting your last sale, if so why are you selling this one after only a few months of ownership and barely many miles added?
- is that the roof motor moved to the trunk? if not how is the roof operating?
- cosmetically is it just the door panels that are sagging? anything else to note?
- open to PPI/test drive for local buyers?
Thanks in advance
Bid in the amount of $10,000
