Just got a vert! pics added

[bastianshaw]

Will post pics soon,
87 325ic bronzit auto w 75xxx miles! top is in super shape I stole it for $1100

What do I need to know about caring for the top?

I know not to rev in nuetral or park anything else about the zf 4hp22?
I changed the fluid to Valvoline max life and will change it again in a few hundred miles along w the filter, is redline atf worth the extra money?

pics:

clear back window no leaks whatsoever in the top:

76k SUCKAS!

has nice deck:

373 lsd combined w cruise set at 60

Notes about the zf 4hp22:
Replace it with a g260.

Holy low miles. I feel like keeping the top folded for extended periods of time will cause the rear window to crack and crease because it's folded. I don't do anything specific for my top and I feel like the PO didn't either. It's 8 years old and doesn't leak a drop, rear window is very clear. If you really care maybe put some protectant on it (303 will not work).

Congrats.
This is a Yahoo group specific for cabrios:

http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/bmwe30ic/

A new top goes for about $500.
I was quoted about the same for installation so, if you have the time and feel confident you can do it, have at it when the time comes.

After I'm done overhauling my suspension I will begin replacing all the rubber seals around the top. Still have no idea how expensive that will be, or how difficult it will be to find all the seals. Seems like there is one hundred of them.

ive owned 4 e30's now and all have been under 1200. California ftw


For my first e30 i paid $300 for it and it drove me home 40miles.

what causesn the windows to opaque?

UV damage from the sun is my guess. Why do you like the auto?

[Kershaw]
