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
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.

Well put. Many people seem to always confuse rare with desireability.
Seller convinced him that slick top is 100x more rare then one with sunroof hence overpriced by 2.5k.
Seller convinced him that the car has low mileage hence overpriced by another 5k, op found out car has a swapped cluster and car actually has over 300k miles.

Why I ask is 5speed was literally in the first sentence... still looking for info on slick top M3 s from 95-99 numbers by color year. As dumb of a nob everyone thinks I am I've still stumped this group!
Take a step back and try to re-think about what you're asking again. Unless BMW itself kept records of this matter, no one else would've known the question to your answer.
With all due respect, your statement is no different from me proclaiming that I've stumped everyone in the science community because no one in this world can tell me how many times you've taken a dump since you're born.
