Help on e36 slicktop coupes rare but how rare?

[m3f_englishtom1596q]

westopher is actually a valuable contributor to this community unlike yourself. He has shown good knowledge, common sense and has a beautiful example of an e36 M3. You on the other hand have come on the forum asking a question which i assume is only because you think slick top means your car is absolutely amazing and can ask 3K more for it. If people can find a slick top thats cool, otherwise no-one really gives a shit as the sunroof is awesome for cruising around and track guys replace it with a carbon fiber or fiberglass panel anyway. good luck at the auction, hopefully you run no reserve and it sells for $5K

Don't mess with Wes.


Who cares about the number? A black M3 coupe is not special, regardless if it has a sunroof or not. Even if they made 1.

I would rather have a rare colour combo then no sunroof.


I don't see why you would absolutely be shopping for a slicktop. Yes they are harder to find but don't add anything imho.

I understand the desirability of a slicktop for building a track car, however, unless its paired with some other rarity, like some stupid purple paint, its not going to really add any value to the vehicle, like M_parallel said.

I agree the OP does appear to be a nob.



I disagree that slicktops "don't add anything".



They add lightness at the highest point in the car.

They reduce complexity.

They eliminate a potential source for leaks and corrosion.



Worth looking for IMO.



When I was shopping I wanted a slicktop but a sunroof wouldn't have been a deal breaker. Find a clean sedan is to hard enough.

[m3f_E36slicktop]

50+ pounds and the highest part of the car is nothing. Also something that is nothing is less then 5% to as low is 1% are slick tops. Love all the nothing facts and cocky egos behind keyboards eh.

[m3f_Doghouse]

I don't think a slicktop adds value at this point.

Maybe down the road when (if) these cars become more collectible unusual options (or lack of option) may make a difference of a few % on value.



There are some many variables on these cars at this point, a slicktop, or cloth interior, or unusual color are just one consideration.

[m3f_E36slicktop]

Also to clarify nothing facts this post is looking for information on slick top m3's production numbers by year and color. West seems to have a good sprint! Was just trying to get more views reach more people... it worked lol. Seriously my question is good it's hasn't been answered!


If there are only 500 or less slick tops in America..... that's nothing and doesn't *ucking matter. Stupid newbie eh.

[m3f_E36slicktop]

95-96 coupe white slick tops worth more then the rest? I'm all in on yes.......

[m3f_E36slicktop]

Facts/personal opinion are they the samething?

[m3f_Baby ///M3]

You might also want to look into the European market and see if cars without a sunroom are rare there. What's rare here doesn't mean that it's rare, period.


There are plenty of E36s in Europe with single door speaker, no OBC or check function system (just a simple clock). There are also E36s in Europe with basic cloth seats. As equipped, these are considered rare here but it doesn't mean people desire them.


If you're concerned about the value of your car, a better way may be to research for its market value than to ask how many counter parts were produced.

Sliptop plus $1,000 premium?

175K miles minus $2-10K?

Just messing with you OP. I'd be curious to hear what the US statistic is. Good luck.

[m3f_E36slicktop]

I'm concerned about facts... number of slick top e36 M3by year, color and because some *ick hole will correct me if I don't specify United States. Don't care about you snowmexicans to the north

[m3f_Braymond141]

Slicktops are worth more to those who want them and cannot find the exact combo they are after. I'm personally willing to pay a premium for a 1996 chassis, slicktop, clean title. Color I do not care about, or condition other than no rust or major body damage.


Expect a 1-2k premium for a high mileage car with no significant restoration data. Maybe even zero premium if it's just a 175k driven car. The cars that command premiums have a lot going for them.


Stop acting like a little *****.
