differences between E30's - United Bimmer Community

i was just wondering how many E30 owners have crank sun roofs?

also, my E30 had grommets or little pegs that let you lock down the front mats. do you guys have them too?

I have a crank roof, and I have the things for the mats

As for the crank sunroof. In the states there are not that many but over here in germany 90% of the E30's have them plus the things for the floormats

I got the holes for the floor mat gromets. But no gromets. I was thinking about going to the stealership and getting some.

and yea i got crank roof. I like it though...good conversation piece for a little.

^^^ you mean your mats have the holes with the grommets in them? (sorry, a little confused in how you used the word grommets)

i have the grommets in the mats, but in my current E30 i dont have the mount points on the floor board. can you just get these from the dealer?

i asked this question prior to getting my second E30. my first E30 had electric roof, the current has a crank, and i dont mind the crank (i can actually open it faster with the crank then with the button), but i find myself opening the roof less than i did with the last 30. . .

i guess they are these, but they looked different in my last E30. . . and it says it has been discontinued, but i think i found them by part number at pelican parts, but they call it a 6 lock.

edit: nm, i guess they mean that the 3 of them are discontinued, but the first one isnt

sweet. Yea i got to get some of those. I got nothing underneath my feet beccause it would slide under my clutch pedal.

Thnx for info.
