So, having not long had my saphire black 3.0, I decided that I wanted a hard top for over the winter months. I waited around for a while and came close on a couple! Having seen the issues with prices and parts, i'm glad I waited and did my research...!
Anyway, I picked mine up yesterday and I'm really happy with it. I know that a few others are also looking, so thought I'd add my limited experience to the forum.
It seems that hard tops are fetching very strong money on eBay at the moment, so I searched on Gumtree, eBay, autotrader and piston heads for saphire black z4's currently being sold WITH hardtops, and simply e-mail around to see if they'd be prepared to sell separately.
In this way, I managed to find a second hand dealer that sold me a near mint hard top with all fittings and tools (side lock covers and feet included....!) for the reasonable sum of £750.
I guess this means the dealer gets a little extra profit as the two items probably fetch more separately than together.
So, if looking, why not try doing the same....
Hope this is of help to someone.

Top work. I'm going to try this myself. However, please delete this post now and it can be our secret. :wink:
