Guys,
I just picked up a '91 318is as a potential daily driver to replace the one I just sold- and to keep the '87 325is track car off the road. One reason I bought this car was because it had a glass sunroof- only the 2nd one I've seen in person in as long as I can remember. I figured I could even take the glass 'roof out of this car and sell it to make the car that much cheaper to me (I've got a steel panel that could replace it).
Now, here's the thing- this glass sunroof appears to NOT be the same as the other one I had (from a '90 325i parts car- it was definitely OEM BMW). This 'roof has a thinner metal frame around the glass, and it has a plastic trim ring around the hole in the roof panel - the OEM 'roof does not have any trim here. The inner trim panel is different as well. The electric button is different as well- this one has 4 buttons in the rectangular switch housing, I think they are labelled "open, close, vent" and the last one says "ASC" which I assume refers to American Sunroof Corp- who likely made this roof assembly.
Any of you guys have one of these?? or seen one??
