Hello (and a detachable roof question)

[felix89]

Hi all,

A new owner of a 2004 3.0 BMW Z4 E85, only had it a couple weeks but loving it so far! I'm sure I will have many stupid questions over the next few weeks so thanks in advance for any help!



When I purchased the car it came with the detachable hardtop roof which I am now looking to sell. While I do like the car with the hardtop on, living by the sea is made for the roof down - even in the winter and I have zero space to store it while not attached to the car. However, while browsing the internet I stumbled upon a post on a forum asking about hardtop roof mountings and where to pick them up.

My previous (and most likely wrong) understanding was that the roof would fit onto the stock BMW Z4 but after reading that post it sounds like anyone purchasing the roof would need to also purchase and install some mountings. Is this the case, or does the stock car come with these installed? I'm wary to sell the roof to someone and for it not to actually mount on their car!

Thanks again for any help!

Hi and welcome OP.

As I've only had Coupes I can't give you an answer about your hardtop, but I thought you could fit one to any E85 - the covers everyone seems to be after are soft top side covers IIRC.

Hopefully someone who knows for sure will be along soon!

uk cars come supplied with the hardtop prep kit (99% of the time)
get an ad on the classifieds on here with plenty of pictures and details
if it's immaculate with all parts and with a trolley you can expect up to a grand for it, search past adverts for a ballpark price
And welcome to the forum of course

Hi there, that's a very interesting username you've chosen

Currently I am very close to securing a deal to get a Z4M or Z4MR , if I do get the roadster, I would be really interested in purchasing your hardtop. I should have a better idea of what is happening by the weekend, as I am waiting for the two respected dealers to give an answer on how much they are willing to give for my mums JCW Mini against the cars in a PX. Can't go ahead with getting my Z4 until either the Mini is sold privately or if the dealers do better than the £6250 a local dealer offered last week for it.

I'll drop you a PM letting you know if I will be able to make an offer for your hardtop sometime this weekend.

As above, all UK cars are hardtop prepped.

Welcome by the way.

Welcome to the forum, nice purchase
You should have no problem selling the hard top if its in good condition

Hi all,

Many thanks for all the responses and the warm welcome!

Can't believe I had to add some other numbers to the end of my name to get the username let me know if you are still interested.

I shall post up a proper classified add in the correct section with all the details.

I've just bought a carbon black Z4M roadster, I get the car this Sat. I'm not sure if your hardtop is a close enough match?

I think Felix is normally too short for most forums for a name, so I usually have to add the '79 on the end. Even though my real name is not Felix, so many of my car buddies know me and call me Felix it's rather funny!

Yes, it might look a little odd. This roof is dark blue - official colour is monacoblau (Colour code a35). Carbon black sounds pretty sweet!
