Can someone please tell me what this entails and show me pictures of said "preparation" just in case I come across a car that has it.;)

Just something it lists on the Vin Decoder Mike, code S380A Hardtop-preparation under standard equipment. I just wondered what it consists of? Pre fitted brackets etc.?

@t-tony I was under the impression that 'hardtop-preparation' was the fitting kit for the hardtop. I could be wrong, in which case I can only presume that it is means that all the relevant wiring is in place for the heated rear windscreen.

Fair comment David, thank you. I've just seen one outside work parked on the road side and I'm thinking wish that was in for tyres or something, then I could have a butchers.;)

You can have a look at ours Tony @t-tony when we bring it to Torksey in September. It will have the hardtop on.

Will be your last chance too - selling it to pay for Liz's new baby. It's breaking my heart :-(

Is that your Z3 that you're selling Dave, it's the prep on a Z4 I'm interested in.

Still is mate,( 5 pints of Dr. Foster's) and I still haven't seen any pictures of hardtop preparation. Does this exist, or is it a factory myth?;);)

They do have hardtops for Z4s Tony, so they must have preparation, make it simple, buy a Z4 that already has a hardtop, but you won't be able to feel the wind in your hair anymore!!!! Obvious answer then is an E89 like our Alpie!!!! but you will forfeit the boot space, but then you can't have everything, can you????

Not consciously wanting a hard top to be honest, I was just intrigued as to how much preparation was already there. I often see some nice coupe's in town and while they look gorgeous they can't do what I do and throw the roof down to have a nice ride home at the end of another crap day at the madhouse.=))
