Would it not make more sense to swap your 316i to a bigger engined car that already has an electric sunroof?

Personally I never use my electric sunroof anyway, I would happily do without it and its possible rust problems not to mention its channelling water down the A pillar, and go for A/C instead, but each to his own!

Appreciate you’re comments but no of that’s really relevant to the question, I’ve brought a 316 to restore and build a bigger car, ie a 328stroker
It’s a manual winding sunroof at the moment but I’m curious to the option of changing it.
