    Lukebox fitment question

    So I have an electric top that doesn’t work. I’ve been looking for a used lukebox to buy and install a sound system in my e30. All I can find for sale are the boxes that fit the manual top style trunk space.

    My question: will the manual style box fit my electric top chassis if I remove the motors? Is there a difference in the trunk between the electric and manual tops?

    I don’t have access to another manual style very to compare

    Without the motors, it's the same as the manual. I think the only difference after removing the motors is that the trunk carpet is molded with the motors in mind, but not a real hinderance.

        You won't have an issue. The manual top box fits once all of the electric top components are removed. I did this in my car when I had it so it is confirmed to fit!
