I want to build something like that along my back wall. Definitely! It was in the house when I moved in. I do have some advice... don't use nails to build it. The previous owner used nails on it and with some weight on the other side it collapsed. I got it all put back together using screws and it's solid now.

I can't remember the last time I used nails for anything. I have to redo my deck this year because whoever built it was a dumbass and used nails.Sent from my SM-G930R4 using Tapatalk KaiserRolls and Rekpoint 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was definitely a profanity laced tirade against the previous homeowner and his total ineptitude. Anyways, here are some pics. I haven't reinforced this side yet, so excuse the nails.

I just don't like the sun shining on my head. And weight, especially up high, is never good. i've taken an e36 sunroof assembly out and it isn't light nor easy.

A slicktop S52 swapped E30 with an Mtech steering wheel would probably fetch $70k on BaT all day. Its nice to have options, but the community seems to be trying to market the slicktop cars as something that should be paid extra for. I guess if that is meaningful to you then its worth paying extra for but im getting a bit crusty at how insane the stance tax is getting on E30 stuff and all I can do about it is not buy it and complain about it on here. im crying as im typing this because I just saw an Mtech steering wheel for sale for $799 not including shipping.

m42b32 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 The prices of rarer things, and even some not so rare things, are getting insane. I wonder if people are actually paying these crazy amounts for things like startecs and anything with the word mtech associated with it. Both of my E30's are slicktops, but the only value I could see it adding would be for a tall person wanting to wear a helmet and still have a headliner (aka me, but I didn't seek them out, it just ended up that way). Beyond that, if you're building a track car and want to save weight just take it out. Personally, I really like having a sunroof and use the one in the E36 almost as much as I use the doors (with the tilt function at least).

B C Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 you need to add a zipper flap sunroof to your soft top so you can enjoy the best of both worlds m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I love sunroofs in nice weather! Now, as far as the weight savings... the difference in weight on the e92 m3 carbon fiber roof vs. sunroof is 45lbs. 45lbs isn't light but it's certainly not enough that anyone will notice a difference in handling. That's only one example but it's similar across the board. The ONLY benefit that I can see for a non sunroof car is more room for my fat head with a helmet.
