Hello Everyone, I'm a newbie member, but not new to classics...

My name is 'Baker' I live in Brighton, with my cat and newly acquired 2000, BMW Z3, Manual. 1.9L Cabriolet Roadster.

Can any 'Commando' Nerdy Warrior Mechanic(s) please advise, I am a disabled person, and really enjoy my new (for me) car, however, one drawback, is I wish it had an electric roof. I needed a car and fell for the one I have which has a great-looking blue roof, to compliment the blue body colour, but it's a manual roof. Not impossible for me to operate, just it would make a world of difference if I could with a press of a button, raise the roof, lowering the roof is not an issue.

If any brave individual or crew, is willing to help me retrofit an electric roof...., my idea is we could broadcast it on YouTube, with or without you in the footage.... that's if you're shy, or like me too old, bold and fat... Is retrofitting an electric roof a straight job...? or many hours & millions of galactic federation state credits... (i mean money).

Has anyone done this.....? any pointers?

Last but not least, does anyone know where I can get a decent set of mudflaps for my Z3...? Without costing the earth...?

Remember, the Force is with you always...

Long Live The King (The Merry Monarch 2.0) Charles the III, and Long Live the Republic.

Peace.

'Baker'
