How to properly "fold" the Convertible Top for a E30 325iC?
I got a 92 325iC that had been convert to manual top from the OEM electric one, what is the best way to fold the top that will not "damage" while folding? Any Youtube video that I can reference?

Um... You pretty much just lift back part, lift front, drop er in. Done.
If you are worried make sure there isn't any pinches between the frame before you shut the lid.

Tuck the folds of the top towards the rear of the car. Put a soft cloth where the window folds onto itself to keep it from scratching. Tuck the edges inside the top compartment so the lid closes without pinching it on the corners. Do this with all windows lowered slightly."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

This may be only my top (it's from an electric top car), but you may also have to flip back one bar that's right above the rear windows. Other than that just make sure the rear window doesn't crease and you should be okay.The first car I ever rode in was an e30

Yes, flip back that bar so that portion folds back toward the rear."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

i think if you have good straps that bar should fold back by itself, there is a write-up of a quick fix on e30ic.comComment
