'91 318is slicktop question

[BJMW]

This may sound stupid, but how can you tell if your car was a slicktop? I bought a 318is and it has an aftermarket sunroof . Is there a vin number on the roof?

Look up/decode the VIN and it may indicate a sunroof delete option.

In any case, does it really matter as you have a sunroof now?

[BJMW]

I checked the vin number and there was no indication of a sunroof option. You're right, I've got a sunroof now but I sleep better knowing these things about my car. I can also make sense of issues should they arise.

post some photos. Never heard of aftermarket sunroof on E30. Slicktop means car without sunroof option,

hi, I have a slick-top 318is with a aftermarket moon roof.

If your car has an aftermarket sunroof then it was a slicktop.

I've seen a couple 318iS done like this. Probably something the dealer had done to sell the car.
