    Manual to Power Sunroof???

    Is it possible do this conversion? That was the one thing that pissed me off beyond words w/ my car. If it possible to do this conversion and I can find a wide body kit for a sedan. That bike will be for sale tomorrow, hands down.

    Every wide body kit i know of are for 2 door e30's ONLY.

    Fitting a 2 door kit to a 4 door is possible, but i would expect to pay over 10k for fitment and paint.

          Ok back to the original question. The sunroof thing is doable Jordan said. Does anyone have any literature on the conversion? Or tips?

            Get EVERYTHING from a power sunroof, and convert it over.

                      LUV? Here's an idea. Just say it. The hell is up w/ all these abreviations?

                        And headliner, and mounting bracket...
                        EVERYTHING.

                        I rigged my mounting bracket... do it right and get the right bracket.

                          To do it the right way you need absolutely everything short of the sunroof panel itself, although it's possible only pulling the motor/harness/headliner/and that black metal panel(very important)
                          You WILL have to drill. Make sure you protect the roof from the drill as there's no cushion (ask my roof how i know) Also make sure you have a good motor before you start.
                          The swap is fairly straight forward... I'd rate it an 8 on a difficulty scale from 1-10, and it's very worth the trouble
