2000 BMW M Roadster M series Roadster from UK and Ireland - Comments

I had to have a new variable valve system fitted.

Slightly leaky roof.

The car is fantastic a pure adrenalin rush every time I get in it.

It corners beautifully.

The engine is extremely responsive throughout the gears.

The design of the car is a one off, BMW have very successfully created a classic, the have taken the dreary looking standard Z3 added some curves wider wheels, and a ballistic engine to create a car that I don't think I will ever get rid of, Porsche, Mercedes, and many others beware, if you see this car in your rear view mirror before long you will be looking at the fantastic quad exhaust pips screaming off in the distance.

One thing I have read on these reports from many other owners is the complaint of excessive brake dust, hears a tip for you.

1. don't use the brakes so much, (sometimes causes death so be careful)

2. Get ceramic brake pads fitted, they create hardly any dust so your alloys can stay shiny for ages.

The brakes on this vehicle are a bit weak when fitted with BMW standards, so may I suggest as above fitting drilled & Grooved discs at the front end with ceramic pads this helps your stopping power quite significantly as the pads nor the discs heat up as quickly.

One hell of a machine, and now not one hell of a price.

I have own this beautiful little car about 1 year and a few months, and I love it. It's a beautiful car, really powerful engine, really fun to drive, and is just way good for the price.

But it has some problem with the rear side frame. My trunk has a few cracks, and the one of the driver's side frames has a crack too. The car has never been in an accident, so I took it to the shop and the cost to fix it is $5525.00. It needs a new rear panel, which is $2550.00 for the part, plus labor, and my insurance company did some research and found out the many 2000 BMW M ROADSTERS have that factory defect, so they called BMW and they won't call it a recall because there weren't too many cars with that problem, so that sucks.

So we need to find somewhere online that can make a strong version of that part. But besides that, it's amazing.. so next time went you purchase a 2000 M, make sure to check under the trunk and frame.
