Does anyone know where i can find an aftermarket targa top for an e30 325ic? im not even sure if they are made aftermarket, but if they are, id sure like to know where i can get one.

I cant help you because Im unsure what a "targa top" is, maybe you could teach me something.

Do you mean a Baur Conversion? a new cloth top? a hard top for winter?

 

[bavarianjames]

yes i am talking about a baur targa conversion. when referring to a targa top, i mean something like a "t-top" common on del sol's and corvette's.

A 325ic is a factory convertible, a Baur Conversion is just that, it's a conversion on a hardtop done by Baur (not BMW) to basically give you a removable sunroof, and removable rear window right over to the C pillar. You won't find this as an aftermarket, and in North America, you'll be hard pressed to find one at all. You either want a cabrio, or a Baur, but you can't have a 325ic Baur.

Well technically that's not a true targa. True targas just remove the middle of the roof. For an example, look up a pic for a 911 Targa. It's like T-top's but there's no middle bar. Also for the younger audience, the Supra in the first Fast and Furious movie was a targa.

Basically there's no such thing as a Targa, or t T-Top as far as BMW's are concerned.

1x pre f/l mtech I convertible
1x f/l convertible LHD
1x m325i motorsport (mtech I)
1x 318i - mint (for wifey)
1x 325i Touring (also for wifey)
1x m325i motorsport (mtech I) for race car build
1x 325i RHD donor to convert LHD convertible to RHD
1x 323i paddock car
1x 325i to be converted to 2.7 turbo project
1x 525E donor for above project
various other donor/parts cars plus half a shipping container full of parts, motors, wheels etc.
1x LHD AC Schnitzer 325i e36 Convertible with removable hardtop.
1x RHD e36 donor car to convert above to RHD.

So lots of bits and pieces lying around - all needed of course.

Sometimes I wonder why so many, but I can see the benefit- when you have 4 or 5 e30 projects or whatever, you need as many parts cars aswell. I think maybe its an addiction hah.

If you read this William, I hope you don't mind. Not that any of these folks know you.
