I’m stockpiling parts at the minute for the electric roof. I’ve a full spare set of motors, control modules and micro switches for the inevitable.
On the hardtop front, they can be got in the UK for around €400. The biggest issue is getting one home. Also nearly all the headliners are sagging now purely due to age as the glue on the foam backing has broken down. Also a replacement headliner is CRAZY money and hard top find someone that can do an OEM finish.
I’d have to agree that most of the good ones have now gone into long term ownership / storage. I won’t be selling mine any time soon that’s for sure.
It’s mad but 8 years ago I literally could not find a buyer for my car. It took me over 12 months to sell it and I took a big hit on it. Now there is a big demand for an E36. Plenty of people wanting to get back behind the wheel or maybe lusted after one when they were younger but couldn’t afford it. I’ve met a fair few young owners in their early 20’s who are mad about E36’s at recent Cars & Coffee events (not drifters but genuine enthusiasts).
The prices at the minute are only heading in one direction so if you manage to find a good one then grab it.
