No doesm't need to be prepared, the hardtops fit's all the convertibles, providing the hood is in the down position, hope you weren't trying to put it on with the softtop closed??? :mad:

Fixing kit needed.

BMW Hook spanner, another - I think its 12 or 13mm. And 2 No ugly spike's that sit in special hole's either side, near shue box flap under rubber plugs that pull out. These hole's have your electrical connection, for your de-midst screen at the rear.

Your rear fan will not work when your hardtop is on.
The same scenerio at the front with the handles as the soft-top.

Two- man job lifting the hardtop.

Cheers Gareth.
