Nice find! Probably more rare than an M3 to find one with the roof mechanisms still working. New top looks very well done!

[Dunky]

Thanks squidmaster!
I think that too. With this Hydraulic top there is only few made ;)

If here is peoples who want to know more about this car, please feel free to ask. Maybe today I get my video edited where we can see how this works with new roof

Time to get back to Japan and find me a low mileage car! Good to see the roof still works.

That is seriously cool. I'm imagining if this had some sort of Gemballa style kit in period one might be perceived as a baller

Verry cool! Where did you buy the top? (I'm from Switzerland, so it might be interesting for me). How hard was the installation?

I had to order unique version soft top couse Hydraulic version frame is different than manual or electric version.

About installation; PITA project at first time couse you need keep the focus on the seams that those are at right place and STRAIGHT! And old clue.... AAAARGH that was tight!
