    Meanwhile, at the roof swap shop . . .

    Hey guys:

    I dropped my car off at the roof swap shop a few days ago, but this really isn’t about me.

    When dropping off, I parked next to a Jet Black car with CSL front+rear and BBS (e88?). The car was sporting an “M3 CSL” rear badge and an “M3 CSL” black euro replica plate on the front.

    Does anyone know this man?

    This legend was removing his OE slicktop to replace it with a carbon roof. We need more of this content. It’s inspiring.

    And well, it is a roof swap thread, so here are a few morning/afternoon shots of my car under the knife.

              They painted my first Mtech2 bumper for my 325Ci like many years ago, good to know they're still top notch. I have a replacement mtech2 bumper ready to be painted again may go to them again.

                Congrats on the roof swap.

                Did you get pics of the alleged M3 CSL?

                      Different car.

                      How much does something like that go for?

                              That’s the one! Still can’t believe he removed a perfectly good
                              slicktop. What a baller.
