Today I’d like to share this M Roadster in attractive gray over Imola red leather with a mere 44k miles in it’s 17 year history. When these first came out I found the styling to be too bold, but over time they really grew on me, especially from the back. So much so, I eventually bought one for myself. I find them to be the best S54 value option available at any given time compared to the Coupe or M3 options.
2006 BMW Z4 M Roadster for sale on eBay
from the seller (formatted so it’s readable):
The rawest, most engaging, and fun street car I’ve ever driven. The setup is, in my humble opinion, perfect for weekend canyon carving. I had an F80 M3, and when I bought this, I stopped driving the F80 because of how much more fun it was. I replaced the F80 with an E92 M3. Between the manual E92 M3 and manual Z4 M, after a few years, I turned 30 and decided I needed a daily that’s not a lowered manual rear-wheel-drive sports car. So that’s why I’m selling the Z4 M. It took me over a year of trying to convince myself to replace it with a daily, to finally list it for sale because of how much I love it. But the reality is having the 2 Ms is not practical, so it’s time to say goodbye.
With an 18-year-old car, there are going to be some aesthetic imperfections, but considering the age, I think it’s in great shape. The previous owner was also a car enthusiast.
EXTERIOR:
- Rear bumper got hit at some point, but no mechanical damage. I have a photo of the damage I can send; it was very minor, thankfully.
- Front and rear bumpers have been painted.
- The hood has some chipping.
- Soft top looks a bit weathered, but no ripping.
- Rear reflectors have been painted.
- Rear trunk light has a crack you can see in the pictures (was there when I bought the car).
- M emblem came mounted in that location; I never moved it.
- I refinished the headlights myself; they were very foggy.
INTERIOR:
- New OEM instrument cluster.
- New OEM steering wheel.
- CF trim has some damage by the handbrake; you can see it in the photos. The previous owner had an armrest installed there with adhesive, and I couldn’t remove it without causing some damage. The armrest got in the way of shifting.
- Shift knob I 3D printed myself. I love it but can replace it with a ZHP or M Perf Alcantara knob instead.
All maintenance up to date:
- Inspection 1 with the valve adjustment done.
- VANOS taken care of by Autocouture.
- Oil changes every 5,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first.
- Differential oil changed about a year ago.
- Brake fluid changed about a year ago.
- Passenger side new brake assembly after the caliper seized.
- New Convertible top motor and moved to trunk to prevent clogging again.
- Brakes, tires, clutch are all great.
- Black stone oil analysis done (can send this over as well).
MOD LIST:
- Bilstein PSS10 coilovers.
- Autosolutions short shifter.
- Stromung mufflers.
- Catless headers.
- TTFS Tune.
- Red taillight film.
- Spacers.
This example has some tasteful upgrades including exhaust, which really makes these sound much more exotic. I had the same Stromung mufflers but this example goes a step further with catless headers. One could take exception with the 7 previous owners noted and minor cosmetic blemishes. But when compared to M Coupe or M3 models with similar mileage and condition, these stand out in my mind as an amazing buy — and the roof goes down too!

I have liked the styling from day 1…just not into convertibles. A really decent performance value.
Started at $25k but ended with no bids. -dc
