99% of what has been listed so far is simply replacement parts.
I read the question as "Essential" spare parts.

But can't you just disconnect the passenger side rod so that onlt the boot lid opens and then you lower the top manually?

Thanks Ziggy.
Can the window be taken out and stored if the top is left down all summer anyways...and easily put back in again?
Cheers,
Jim

bump for a great guy.

Damn typing. That should read '89...not '98.
Sorry.
Cheers,
Jim

I'm going to to replace the convertible top on our '98 325, and I understadn you can get a zip out window.
Was this a factory original?
Has anybody here had experience with them?
Is the zipper well hidden?
Thanks,
Jim

Nothing personal in my pinion..eh?
Get the lips polished and i could change my mind.

Classy loooking car, but to be honest those wheels look like a completely out of character cheezy add-on.
Sorry...but you asked for opinions.

I have those Dunlops on my M3 and they are fabulous.
The problem is they are no longer available in 225/45ZR16.
Too bad.

or window sticker etc.

Love those low mileage M3's. I think that one at Munich legends is a good value.
My 1990 Cabrio is still at 7,360 miles.

Cheers,
Jim

Great thanks guys. I guess then I'll try to polish it in place rather than remove it.
Cheers,
Jim

thanks...
Jim

I want to remove my M3 electric top so that I can give the inside rear window a really good polish. It looks like a simple case of remove two nut on each side, plus of course the fuse line. Is ther anything as far as alignment I need to worry about when reinstalling?

The guys at Leatherique (US product) have said this is the best way of removing fine scratches on the bolster and then re dying it.

Actually the term Cabriolet is a form of convertible...as is roadster.
A Cabriolet is a convertible with roll up glass windows. A Roadster is a convertible with snap on side curtains.

Jim

Funny thing that..people buy horsepower but drive with torque.
There is so much more to a car's performance than how much hp.

Jim

Don't think so...

they are avalible from america, can't remember the website though.
do a search in the styling section.

North America or South America?

Jim

Quite right there ShineOn!
ahhh....a day with nothing to do but detail the car.

Cheers,
Jim

lol good point 320i.. i'm sorry i just don't see the point.. what use is that car other than to be kept in a garage somewhere. Surely the whole idea of buying an M3 is because you want to drive it, and drive it properly, not store it in a garage. Unless you have an extremely rare one it just seems ...

they are soooo fugly

....sorry.
jim

fly, be free.....

There should be wires already in the harness for them.
Funny...we don't like them over here.
And by the way, their North American (the continent vs the country). Mute point I know...

Hey thanks! It's still only at 7,300 miles and tucked away now until next spring.
I remove bumpers and steam cleaned the undercarriage periodically. Definately a garage queen.

Mine is a European E30 M3 Cabrio...these were not issued in North America.
However my wife's 325ic is Canadian. So, perhaps you are right that all European grills are the same except SE version.
Cheers,
Jim

This is the M3 Cabrio with 215hp, and no A/C. You can se the width of the opennings etween kidney and headlights. This is substantially wider than on my wifes 325ic with A/C.

Cheers,
Jim

IE 325i side grills are the same as all other E30 M3 grills except for the SE.

Andrew

Sorry bud...your wrong there.
Jim

The size of the openning between the slats varies depending on the size of the engine (195 vs 215 hp), and options (ie A/C).
Jim

Well... I went from my home town of Victoria BC, which is on the west coast of Canada to Davos Switzlerland to buy my E30 M3 Cabrio. I left Friday night after work and was back at work tuesday morning.
