Spec Details: The Engine is The S52 Type CK93. The S52, is based closely on the regular production M52 engine. Like that motor, the S52 is a six-cylinder with a cast iron block, aluminum head and four valves per cylinder, with two-stage VANOS variable valve timing on the intake strokes. Unique to the S52 is a bore of 86.4 mm (3.4 in) and stroke of 89.6 mm (3.5 in) for a total displacement of 3,152 cc. The engine is rated at 240 hp (179 kW) at 6,000 rpm and 236 lb·ft (320 N·m) of torque at 3,800 rpm.In addition to the larger displacement, the S52 utilizes the following special M components:Ported and polished cylinder headRetuned VANOS variable valve timing for greater high-rpm powerHeavy-duty valve springsMore finely balanced camshaftsValve lifters, springs and spring seats with reduced massFree-flowing intake and exhaust systems M roadsters use the ZF Type C five-speed manual gearbox with the following ratios: 4.21 (1), 2.49 (2), 1.66 (3), 1.24 (4), 1.00 (5). The final drive is either 3.23:1 (S52) or 3.15:1 (S50 and S54). A limited slip differential with a maximum locking of 25 percent is standard. The M roadster’s suspension is made up of MacPherson struts in the front and semi-trailing arms in the rear. However, compared to the six-cylinder Z3 roadster, the M roadster has the following modifications:Wider front and rear tracks (by 0.4 inches) reduced ride height (by 1.1 inches) Modified front suspension geometry, firmer springs and shocks, thicker anti-roll bars, stronger semi-trailing arms and reinforced subframe.All M roadsters use the same size tires (225/45ZR17 in the front and 245/40ZR17 in the rear) mounted on the five-spoke "M RoadStar" alloy wheel. Both are sized 7.5x17-inch (front) and 9x17-inch (rear) featuring a Chromeline finish With M Logo. The interior of the M roadster features several unique items including a chrome-ringed instrument cluster with red needles and the M logo, three auxiliary chrome-ringed gauges in the center console, power and heated sport seats with special pleated leather trim (monotone black or two-tone), a 375 mm three-spoke M steering wheel with tri-color stitching, an illuminated M leather shift knob with the M logo on the shift pattern and a chrome boot surround, an oval-shaped rear-view mirror, leather door pulls and center console trim, chrome inside door handles, and door sill plates with the "M" logo. The interior of all M roadsters are essentially identical. In the main cluster, the North American models have a 160 mph / 260 km/h speedometer and a tachometer with a redline graduated between 6,500 and 7,000 rpm to reflect the S52 engine's variable redline.
