Description

The BMW Z3 M is a high-performance version of the BMW Z3. Styled by Marcus Syring, the Z3 M was introduced in 1997 and is available in coupe and convertible formats, named the Z3 M Coupe and M Roadster respectively. The car was initially powered by a 3.2L S50 inline-6 in most countries and a S52 inline-6 in the United States; both engines were mated to a 5-speed manual. In 2001 the engine was upgraded to a S54 inline-6 before being discontinued the same year. 15,322 M Roadsters were produced.

The base of the casting reads M Roadster.
