Lets see your e46 m3 thread

Bad pic but finishing the prep on my M3 to list it for sale soon.

2005 Mystic Blue slicktop on Impuls cloth with manual seats.
One owner before me, no accidents, original paint, ~60k miles.
Just performed full VANOS, valve adjustment, rod bearings, SMG -> 6MT with new cluch and flywheel, RACP reinforcement and much more.

Any input on what would be a fair market value for it?

My sunroof decided when it wanted to open and close, as if it had free will, rain or shine. I'd be cruising down the highway and it would fully open on it's own. Or tilt. Or go from tilt to fully open and back again.

I yanked the fuse after chasing the issue for a while (new switches, traced wires for pinching, etc.). That was janky. So the only logical decision was to cut the roof out and put carbon in its place.

Sunroof gives you a perfectly good excuse to get a carbon roof

Also no wind noise with a slick top.

E46 M3 and E90 M3 desperately need slicktops because they are so porky.

I love the way the car looks when the sunroof is “tilted” and I pretty much ALWAYS have the tilt going.

To me, that outweighs any benefit of the CF/slick roofs

Never opened my e36's sunroof in 6 years in Socal. Had a slicktop e82 as well. Windows down is enough for me. I do see the allure of a vert, top down, with an airbox installed. I see no benefit to a moonroof/sunroof, personally. Only drawbacks (less headroom, more weight, more complexity/cost/failure, another possible way for UV to damage interior.

I think I've opened my sunroof once just to see if it worked

[9kracing]

lol, for me the 50lb weight loss wasn't worth not having the sunroof...

I love cruising along the 101 with the top back and the windows down

I see why most guys don't care, but for us Cali guy the sunroof is money

Finally installed my Karbonius CSL airbox. Bought it in January 2022… Now still need to find time to install the Schricks 280/272 cams and BMW Motorsport 4.44 pinion ring! At least, the car will remain low mileage, didn’t drive it this year…

I think recognize that airbox....
