      I think the OEM looks a lot better than the Wiesmann. The Wiesmann doesn't flow with the rest of the car. It looks like it belongs on a Mercedes.

          Exactly. Weisman = gh3y and too rounded.

            Weisman tops look like shit.

            A good OEM top should equal around $1000.

            I got my top for $800 and had a black cloth headliner put in for $400.

                  "Cab hard top, I can't believe someone paid over 1k!!!"

                  My mechanic worked for BMW in the 1980s and early 1990s when these were new. Apparently, the reason they are so uncommon today is that they sold very few of them back then when the new list price was $5,000 for the factory hard top.

                  In that sense, and adjusted for inflation and taking into account scaricity, $1k today is a bargain. Also, FWIW, I bought mine for the low low price of $500 but it took another $270 in mounting hardware, $200 in headliner, and about $20 in cleaning products to make it look good. At the end of the day, if there had been an opportunity to buy a pristine one locally for $1k, I cannot say that would have been a bad value.

                        I had no trouble selling my perfect-condition one at $800, and they drove all the way from Kansas to pick it up These things are rarer than I knew, wish I had gone higher.

                          :oops: Yeah, and it was also on all summer. I have a pullie system that is designed to hold a hard top, I just need to get around to installing it, along with my long list of other "things to do". I have nowhere to put it otherwise.

                            Why does that sound so familiar?
