Default What type of roof do you have???

I was posting elsewhere, and this idea struck me. The California top is quite rare, but I think sun-roof delete is rare as well, with the majority of ti's having a normal sun-roof.

Please fill in this poll, as I think we're ALL a little curious...

PS Mine is sun-roof delete.

I have a normal sunroof on my 98. I believe some members that live in Austrailia have the glass sunroof which would've been cool on the ti.

Is no sun-roof ordered considered a "delete"?

yep. No sun-roof is considered 'delete' even though it was an option, since basically all the ti's I've seen have a normal sun-roof...

The purpose of this poll is to see just who has the 'rare' set-up...

I have no sunroof, and on the 1995 Club Sport supposedly only 3 out of the 300 made had sunroof delete. Now I also have seen posted only 200 CS were made. Don't know which figure is correct, but rare nonetheless.

My base ti also has no sunroof, probably not a delete option, but a cost cutting measure on the cheapest ti in the line up.

Now that was a shame. I know Ben probably had no idea how rare that car was when he converted it, but if that happend to be MY car, I would have NEVER converted it, and found another to convert. My standard sport from 1998 is fairly common, but if it was a factory radio delete car (as I know of NO other tis with radio delete) I would not have converted it either...

Club Sports ARE rare, and the numbers put them on par with the 1995 M3 LTW (about 250 made, NONE had sunroof, but I know of one that had it added. [insert Napolean Dynamite "IDIOT, GAWD!" here])

I don't have a sun roof, but have air con. As we only get about 2 sunny days a year it is mainly used for demisting the car

Actually Ben did not convert it. He bought it that way. A guy named Albert Bossert originally purchased the car as a toy and quickly had it converted by Turner Motorsports. The motor came from a 20K mile wrecked '95 M3 owned by Richard Kurtz. Up until 4.5 years ago when Ben bought the car, it had only 30K miles on it. Ben put another 30K in the two years he owned it. In that time, he redid much of the car with RE upgrades. I've added a few more things over the years and only added less than 4k miles. IMHO, converting an e30 M3 is more sacriligious. In the ti, it just makes sense.

Interesting. I thought Ben did the swap...

But, although I do agree cutting an E30 is punishable by death in my eyes, the ClubSport ti was manufactured in lower total numbers, and is therefore destined to be the 'ugly duckling' collector car. Low entry cost, but very collectable down the road. Not within five years, more like 20 years when an unmolested example could go for more than original purchase price...

You can imagine my horror when I find people who cut up E36 M3 Lightweights... I'd gladly kill for one. No problem at all.

sunroof is really important, it will be nice when you drive on the highway then open it up.

Bachic55,

supposedly there are only 3 1995 Club Sports out of 300 with the sunroof delete. We have two here, yours and mine. Now we just need the 3rd one to post.

A little OT, but does anyone know how much weight the Cali top adds?
