E36 Manual Top

[robertw]

I am looking for manual E36 top parts from either 1994-1997 318i or 1998-1999 323i (without Premium Package). The parts I need are the header panel with a manual release, and the rear lever (to unlock the top cover) with the attached rod pieces.

I am located in Massachusetts. Shoot me a pm with anything you may have, thank you.

Try member 66 6, he's always parting convertibles, last I was there he had 4-5 of them.

Got what you need. Parting out a 97 318i 5 speed manual convertible and all parts still there. Haven't started the parting out process yet because I am picking up another one this coming weekend and will probably want to take a few parts and stock pile for future needs. But, I don't see either of the parts you are looking for as something I will need for the new 318. Leave a message and we'll talk.

I thought the same thing when I saw your original post.

Looks like my response to your original post is getting some attention. Lots of people love these things apparently. If you are interested in anything I would suggest we discuss your needs asap before someone else gets dibs. So far I have interest in the headliner, door panels and back seat. I'm sending pics tonight so the folks who have made requests can see if what I have is what they are looking for.

Disregard my last. I thought you were the initial poster and I see it was robertw. My bad. Old age is a bitch!
