Hardtop for Convertible 318ci (1999)

Hi all,

I own a 318ci (1999) and would like a hardtop for the winter months . Is anyone aware of the best place to find one of these? Also, how easy are they to install?

Re: Hardtop for Convertible 318ci (1999)

Lets see, 99 is still an E36.
Where it buy, Ebay or dealer, check with your local BMW cca club.
Easy to install if you have the install kit on your car. If not order it and you have to pull the back seats to intall the kit. If you have the kit installed you can buy one off of ebay and drive out to pick it up. If you are sure you are to get the hardtop go ahead and get the install kit. I spent a year looking for a top close enough I could drive out and get it.

After that it is a two person job unless you have a hoist. Then it is a one person job with the right hoist and time. I would still use another person to help till you are use to it.

Best of Luck
