2002 BMW M Roadster
Overview
Aerodynamically styled
and ready for some serious top-down action, the new
2002 BMW Roadster Convertible challenges the competition
with an edge for brilliant engineering and traditional
quality of build.
Under the hood, the BMW
Roadster is ready to go with six electronically controlled
individual throttles, and a 3.2L DOHC 24-valve six-cylinder
engine. Other specifications include variable valve
timing, distibutorless electronic ignition, and cylinder-specific
knock control.
Each BMW Roadster hits
the mark at 315 horsepower, five-speed manual transmission,
seventeen-inch alloy wheels and performance tires, so
pull down your top and head for the nearest winding
road!
As for luxuries, the
interior is filled to the brim with items such as an
anti-theft AM/FM stereo with cassette player and nine
speakers; a CD player is optional. Premium-grade leather
seating, heated power front seats, and leather steering
wheel and detailing wrap you in comfort and style.
For those of you in colder
climes, the outside mirrors, power door locks, and windshield
washer jets are all heated to prevent freezing.
Some of the cosmetic
features listed are a front spoiler, wraparound skirts,
and ground effects. Other comforts and conveniences
include a keyless entry system, air conditioning, power
windows, cruise control, and a fully lined soft top
round out just a few examples of the many features.
A hard convertible top is available as an option.
As for safety, the BMW
Roadster is equipped with limited slip differential,
tire pressure monitoring system, and finely calibrated
ABS brakes. The standards continue with anti-roll bars,
driver depowered air bag, side impact air bags, and
a passenger depowered air bag.
A crash sensor flips
on the hazard lights and unlocks each door in the event
of an impact. Finally, a theft deterrent system prevents
the ignition from being started without the key.
Altogether, the entire
package is impressive not only for the numerous standards
outlined here, but the many “little” things
that make a big difference in your everyday driving
experience.
