Haha, actually funny thing is it was originally silver...but at some point painted fern green. However it is in the paint shop this week with some m3 and racing dynamics pieces getting painted silver. The green looked black at night and when you were not super close in the day and I was into the "black" top but figured as long as all my other parts are in the booth may as well do the top as well.
Problem with the HT though, is you don't want to take it off anymore.

Preparing for 2018 cabrio season in Denmark. New color and WAY to many money spent on new OEM parts :-( :-(

Can never spent too much on OEM parts
Welcome back, haven't seen you post in a long long time.
p.s. no radio aerial hole on the rear or smoothed?

Yes, but the looks, glass rear screen and structural integrity are just great to have.

It looks awesome! Your car is probably the same color as my 1996 328 convertible, in fact they look so much alike that I thought I posted pictures (then I remembered, I don't have any good photos of mine). lol
Are you going to the Portland Cars and Coffee, BMW Days this Saturday? If you are, we should meet up and take some pictures of the two cars together.
Nope I bought mine a couple months ago from an couple (wife was the primary driver) in Oregon city, just now starting to use it as my daily driver. Also my hardtop is Silver, matching the paint on the body, and the interior is gray with wood trim. Pretty much all gray, except the trim and soft top.
** You know I didn't understand why you never went to Cars and Coffee until that Saturday rolled around, and man did I not want to get out of bed, and drive for about a hour to get there. Maybe I'll go next time.

Hi! This is my first post to BimmerForums. I have a 1994 BMW 325IC (E36). This was the first car I purchased after graduating college. It is my baby. It is an amazing vehicle and one my favs to drive in my stable. I am currently in the process of doing some maintenance work and making her completely roadworthy and updated. I'm glad I found this forum. There is such a wealth of knowledge here. Not sure why but I can't post photos yet.
Thanks! Still have the cloth top mounted. It's the original one and unfortunately needs swapped out. The window is still good but the thread is deteriorating at the bow mounts and I'm starting to see daylight. Kind of dreading that project based on prior posts here but I've tackled worse jobs before.
Just bought this car back after I sold it 6 years ago. Great to have it back.

8 thou in 6 years ain’t too shabby.
Any plans for it? Would slap some ambers on it. Looks great on silver.

No plans for it yet apart from getting it back to mint. Plenty of small jobs to be done. Some rust on rear arches and deck lid. The wheels need to be refurbed and some work under the hood cosmetically. Rocker cover and airbox need to be painted / coated. The list goes on and on.
