Err, anyone heard of this before?

If it’s legit, it’s a super cheap hard top 8)

That’s going to cause a load of problems in terms of damp getting in imho

Damp getting in should be okay, looks sealed like oem. But not sure how you’d de-mist? I guess it’s an option if yours has broken...

Will go with the plastic front window, fitted to the Z4 range :rofl:
Wouldn't want to pay much more than the asking price, but could go higher

No de-mist element makes it a no from me; hardtops are for winter when you need that function
