E30 325i Rag-Top 2960 Report post Posted September 29, 2022 Might be why the roof is a bit rippled.., cutting that hole and banging that monstrosity in there? Oh, I remember when after market sun/roofs were a thing! God knows what they did to the structural integrity of the vehicle? I had a full length webasto in my Avenger, not much metal roof left at all. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 478 Report post Posted September 29, 2022 At least it doesn’t look like it’s rusted the roof, like the factory one. I always thought it must be nerve wracking making the first cut and wondering if you’d got it right…. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest re-trimmed full leather interior at US$2000 is pretty good buying. Try to find a set of seats and panels plus to get re-trimmed I would suggest you would be looking at well north of that price. There is still some good buying to be had on some E30 stuff overseas, if it’s something that is easy to ship. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think its the same firm I enquired about seats with last year, was looking at from memory $1400 USD to send four seats. But my memory may be lacking. They appear to do good work but I wanted cloth, and ideally, Sports seats in “SE” fabric ie a custom build, and they cannot get the SE striped fabric, plus toooo expensive 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excellent value, even though I bet those are DIY retrimmed with the L-Seat premade leather covers. Meanwhile in NZ, a set of ragged out front sport seats is easily $1500 plus and I spent over $5k on my retrim (although that was with near unobtanium OEM fabric / seat shocks / frame welding and custom door cards). 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted October 1, 2022 E30 prices are officially nuts. (Note: In my opinion. ) $500 will buy: If the seller can get this, then good for them. I, and I've no doubt others, will be kicking themselves for the many skips full of similar parts that we've thrown away over the years! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle 1664 Report post Posted October 1, 2022 Those parts rarely need replacing i would think, so unless your car has been owned by a munter i cant see them selling very fast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30 325i Rag-Top 2960 Report post Posted October 1, 2022 Kick panels tend to get broken, when they drop down and catch on Your foot, glove box latches are prone to breaking - I no notice this one doesn’t have the latch! But the rest of it is pretty likely to be low demand. One man’s crap is another man’s treasure! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2136 Report post Posted October 2, 2022 actually, the center console worth a bit. will be either base model 318i sedan with power windows in the front only, or from a coupe which not many being wrecked any more. and yes they do break, usually the same time as the glovebox and/or the under tray is removed, or people pull the console not knowing about the two clips further back etc. They are also easy to break in storage too, the foam is very weak. $500 very steep tho, i can do it all cheaper if anyone needs that stuff.

All that Mtech junk I sold for cheap to help out other owners. I could have installed that B58 in my E34 that I dream about by now. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
