Moon roof for e30

[delatlanta1281]

Has anyone done this? I heard that there is a Saab moon roof that fits our cars. Is that true?

[rede30]

the saab moon roof fits old 5 series, not our cars.

Ohhhh that's hot, how much that run ya? Hard to do?

[YAN-3]

say one found the moonroof, would it just swap out with the factory body colored cover? or do the rails and crap have to get swapped to? ive seen 2 of them in the junk yard and dont know how extensive the swap would be.

I've been looking for this car!! Thank goodness. Any more shots?

easy install

The factory moonroof installs like the steel slider, 3 torx bols per side.

Most aftermarket types involved cutting a non-sunroof model to allow their moonroof to pop in.

Yea, I've got a ton of blurry pictures. One of these days I'll get a tripod!

[optimusp517]

so you're saying, if we have a sunroof already, it's pretty much just a direct swap? which model did that moonroof come off of?

[DrMcDave]

my 1991 318is has one, don't guess it helps but they seem to be more common in the later model e30's ie 1991's.

yeah its pretty simple 6 torx and the panel is out then you have to swap the panel underneath also simple.

That's not the stock one right? It is a pop out?
Sooooo they are next to impossible to find then?

[euro3]

Not impossible

But I did pay a wholelotta $$$. I found it on ebay.com. It was at $265 when I sent the seller an offer for $500. My family lived around the corner from him so I was also able to offer local pick up. It was impulse purchase and I loved it at first. Since I have had it for a while now, the "gee wiz" has worn off a bit.

ahhhh good point, never looked at it like that, it would be cool and then forgotten.
