Sources & notes
- This record describes the stated 2000 U.S. Roadster only. Other model years, body styles, transmissions, suspension packages and wheelbase variants require their own specifications.
- Fuel economy uses the exact EPA model-year, engine and transmission record with current adjusted ratings. Preliminary or original brochure estimates are not substituted.
- Metric dimensions are converted from BMW’s U.S. published inches using 25.4 mm per inch; conversion does not increase source precision.
- The dimension table does not explicitly define mirror inclusion, which remains unverified.
- The 4,941 cc engine is displayed as 4.9 L, rather than inferring displacement from a marketing name. Listed 3,495 lb curb weight excludes the removable hardtop; BMW gives 3,554 lb with hardtop. This is not the later Alpina Roadster V8.
