Hi all

Had the usual issues with e30 bubbling around sunroof it's got so bad that I need to replace/repair roof.

Found a roof skin BUT it's come off a 2 door and I own a 4 door. Anybody know if the dimensions are the same on both 2 & 4 door for the roof and if the skin will fit .

I'm going to remove the sunroof also so new skin is not sunroof.

Thanks in advanced

To be honest most people here see roof rust as terminal and the car usually ends up on the scrap heap. Good luck!

Royalratch replaced the one on his 318is about 10 years ago. The skin cost £400, and the work to fit it £1,000...

Roof skin replacement is covered on the X-Works M3 rebuild thread.
