    Top installer in SE PA?

    I am looking for a convertible top installer in the southeastern PA region. Called a couple places. One said he doesn’t do BMWs, one would order a custom top for my 325 and quoted a minimum of $1450 and two others won’t return my calls. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

          PMed James (fuzzysux) but haven’t heard back. Looks like his posts about doing tops stopped in 2017. Anyone in contact with him or know if he is still working on e30s?

            I received an email from him today so he is definitely still doing tops. I'll ask him to touch base with you.

                I used Futureline in Exton a couple years ago. They did a great job.

                  As a follow up, James and I touched base a little over a week ago. After sending him pictures he was able to quickly diagnose issues with the top and provide a rough estimate for the work (w/o seeing the car). He laid out the plan of attack for the project and made sure I was comfortable with the plan. I was very impressed with his professionalism and knowledge of the e30’s. Long story short, trailered the car to his house and work is underway. Thanks to everyone who made recommendations. It’s great to see this community is still alive and well. I will post final reviews with pictures when we pick up the car.
