so i am new to E30s and now that i am moving out and wont have a garage. i want to pick up a hard top for the winter. the problem is that since i have never seen one and all the tops i have found are out of driving distance. could the cabrio owners who have them put together a list of items that buyers should look for and reasonable prices for a hard top. thanks in advance for anything that you guys can share.

my answer, find one , buy it
if you can , get it with all hardware. they are vry hard to find around here thats why my smart ass answer
I have not heard of them being twisted , the biggest complaint I have read is missing hardware or broken windows
Ill take one even if it had the headliner missing and the rear window missing. both I can replace, maybe not like original, but Ill settle for it. I just want a hard top for winter too, color not important
but budget will put that off for a long while
come on lottery
but I was told you have to play to win

ok, so when you said get the hardware, i thought that was the wrench. now i have a top that was only used a few times, but not the factory bolts to hold it down or the covers for the inside. if anyone has a set of those bolts and or covers, pm me so i can work on completing my set!sigpic
