Lucky! My GF wouldn't let me order the red top to replace on my 318i. I love the red, and those seats are pretty neat as well. Welcome to the club :)

Thanks.The car was sitting in garage for 10 years before I bought it so it is in a pretty good shape.The soft top was terrible so i had to change it.It was a risk with red color because I couldn't find photos of white one with red top.Now I am glad that i did it.

How long did it take you to replace the top? I have a new one, and I haven't gotten around to installing it because of time

beautiful

really clean and stunning. did the car come without an airbag? I suspect airbags were not offered in 1990 for e30 euros. Like early E36s, the euro market waited airbags...but I am no expert. I thought the side markers on the front fenders were a federalized thing? Somehow they work on the car. Congrats. Very simple, classy, mint, and sporty.

Thanks.This car came without airbags .E30 with Airbag are rare in Europe.
side markers are here because this car is made for Italian market and all cars in Italy at that time had to have side markers,something like that.
Also Italians are famous for dealer installed antenas .that's why I have a hole in mu trunk so I had to put new "modern" antena :)

Did you change it yourself?

Did you change it yourself?

Yes I did.I have bad expirience(s?) with my local mechanics...So I decided to do it my self with a help from my friend. It is not so difficult as it seams,just be careful with glue and thats it.
