Sun roof panels.........

.... Are now £420 + vat!!!!

BMW have 30 in Germany and must be a recent batch made which has meant a price hike as they were about £100 not that long ago.

The days of mint second hand panels for £50 are over!

They were about £200 plus VAT a year ago. I sold a nice clean one for 60 quid last month, was probably too cheap I guess - wish I'd known they were £500!.
Folk said I'd never get £800 for a Getrag 265 OD, but I certainly did. Just takes patience.

The next mint E30 dash I have will be £150-200.

Still got the Schwartz one you sold me Andy.
Still in it's wrapper. Investment, innit.

Fortunately I purchased that too soon. Unbeknown to me a spare sunroof panel came with my shell. Good thing I'm lazy or I was about to put it up on sale for £60a˜°

they were £130 odd 6 years ago more like

With the vat that's about what it will have cost me in parts and paint to go non sunroof!

Beware scummers selling E36 ones. Once unbolted from the cassette, they look very similar to an untrained eye.

Just bought one off eBay for 70

Seller didn't write anything about condition an picture was poor but worth a gamble as always return it if it's crap

Only put on sale today so well lucky I read this post !

They have gone up since July, I spoke to dick Lovett and they were£350 at the time, they only had 5 in stock in Germany so you must be right Barry, new batch. On the face of it though how many other manufacturers still make/sell parts for a car that's been out of production for 20 years...

Random question to anyone who may know but how difficult would it be to copy the E30 dash for a company who have the equipment to do it? When you are up at that kind of price it could become more of a real prospect to copy and reproduce them...?

One of the south african forums had a group buy for GRP dash's

They were shite....

I doubt you could reproduce one for £150 - £200
