BMW Announces the 2006 M Roadster

East Bay BMW in Pleasanton announces the world debut of the 2006 BMW M Roadster.

Pleasanton, CA (PRWEB) February 11, 2006 -- East Bay BMW in Pleasanton announces the world debut of the 2006 BMW M Roadster.

The 2006 BMW M Roadster made its world debut at the North American International Auto Show, the M Roadster arrives in US showrooms this spring with an MSRP of $51,995 including destination and handling.

At the heart of the new M Roadster is BMW M’s award winning 3.2-liter in-line six cylinder engines. In 2005, this engine was voted “Engine of the Year” by an international jury a record fifth consecutive time. With its high-speed concept, this engine works through a six-speed manual transmission to provide exhilarating performance in all speed ranges. As in the BMW M3, this engine features dual overhead cams, double-VANOS variable valve timing, and six individual throttle plates. This normally aspirated engine generates more than 100 hp per liter. On the road, this means 0 – 60 in less than five seconds and a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph.

The M Roadster features the speed-sensitive variable M differential lock, already well-proven and admired in the M3. It provides outstanding stability and traction, particularly when accelerating out of bends.

To maximize its braking capabilities, the new M Roadster uses BMW M’s floating compound high performance braking system originally conceived for the M3 CSL and included in the M3 Competition Package. With weight-saving aluminum hubs and steel cross-drilled discs, this system minimizes the risk of warping under hard use.
