<![CDATA[BMW E30 Convertible Pan Roof]]>I saw this online a few days ago and its still blowing my mind. I guess it was a factory part and only 3 of them were made. It was used for a showcase in an auto show at the end of the E30's production. The owner is in Europe and apparently paid $15,000 for the hardtop alone.

If anyone has leads on a cheap E30 hardtop locally let me know. 😍😨

I just thought I would share because its gawd damn AMAZING.

Curmudgeony old guy here to mention that that has to be pretty heavy if it's glass.

Also, I would think you'd have a really hard time re-creating it out of plexi due to the compound curves. Might be able to use the top as a form before cutting it though... hmm...

Thanks old wiseman.

Its not glass its a polymer. I asked E30_jv, the owner. I dont think it would be as hard as you think. I would cut the oem top only after making a jig, then making a mold to form the "glass".  Doing so would also allow me to make more than 1.

It’s a really nice hardtop to cut up 😕 

I think if you were to cut up a hardtop to do the fishbowl mod, you'd want a nice one so it was straight and sound.  It would be hard taking a sawzall to it though.

This is the coolest e30 thing ever imo. Would like to know more on the history of the auto show.

Me too. But I spent a few solid hours searching and could only come up with a few really pixelated images.
