So how rare are Glass sun roofs, really??

How rare are black headliners on a 318is?

Pretty rare. Most 318is's have the white/beige like a 325, I can't even count on one hand the 318is's I've seen with black headliners.

I was going to trade my 2 cardinal leather sport seats for one.

I like them, but I dont like how the sun shade doesnt slide alllllll the way back.

I drive with my sunroof open all the time. Sometimes even when its raining. :D

I drive the beater in the winter with the sunroof open. Passengers give funny looks when you stop at a light and tiny flakes fall down into the car ever so peacefully.

I think you were going to trade with jb325is. His '88 325is has a factory moonroof. It's a neat thing to see but for the money I'd rather have the regular sunroof.

Doesn't the glass one weigh like a shitload more than the stock one anyway?

It's not like you'd ever want one on a track car.

And it's not like the weight matters on a street car.

Yeah, not really. But I'd like to shave as much unecessary weight as I can without having to get too drastic, and I have a friend that works with carbon fiber. He has made sunroof panels for a few other cars, and will make one for me for a ridiculously low price, so I'll probably have one made. On my last car, I don't think I opened it ONCE, and if I can knock a few pounds off for cheap, why not?

(No, he won't make a bunch, so don't even ask. :up: )

I don't have a pic ATM but my iS has a dark grey headliner (I'm not sure if this is quite the same as the black that you are referring to but it's definately not white or beige!

Pete, does it look like this?

[peteM3power]

Stu, I don't think its quite that dark but its hard to tell as I haven't really looked at it all that closely after the sun has set. In bright sunlight, it doesn't look quite that dark but either way, it is very close :D
