Tonneau Covers

Depends what you consider a reasonable price tbh. Ones on eBay are priced to sell, and they do sell so maybe you need to expect to pay more?

I‘m having a problem finding a black tonneau cover for a reasonable price. Does anyone know where I can get one. The ones on Ebay seem a ridiculous price

Keep eye out on gumtree, people have them in their lofts, hidden away and decide to sell them. I was very lucky

Normally sell for £150>£200
Beware, a lot of cheaper ones can have broken fixing poppers.

And the poppers are the best part of £60 on their own. Get any seller to send you pictures of them. All 3 metal clasps in each popper should be there

Thanks, that seems to be the average price on eBay. I need to decide if it is worth it as I still have my hardtop on at the moment.

TBH, when I had my Z3 my tonneau spent most of it's time at home. They do make the car look so much better when fitted but I really couldn't be that bothered. I sold mine 7 years ago for about what they fetch now. Personally, I wouldn't buy one but it's up to you.

I would just wait for a decent priced one if you are undecided, mine was £30 and I think I posted one here that was £40 a few weeks back

I agree I don't think I could be bothered with the faffing around putting it on and off. I've got a windbreak in the boot that has been used once 3 years ago for the same reason. Maybe I'm just lazy

I picked up a like-new on on ebay, but I paid dearly for it (about $400 us). I like to use it when going to informal car show events and such. It's not hard to put on and looks fantastic. That said, I have a like new '01 with only 7,000 miles, so getting a good one makes sense.

Got this off of Ebay last week for £100.

I'm impressed. really finishes it off.

 

[Ianmc]

Agree, and good price. Well done!

 

[Daytriff]

Wow, I missed that one. Well done it looks great

I don’t see the point of them. Wouldn’t waste money on one. Would much rather pay for an oem style wind deflector which is more useful.

 

[Daytriff]

I have the BMW wind deflector that came with the car.

You're entitled to your opinion of course, but I like it and think I got a bargain.
But if that offends you — that's OK too!

No offence intended or taken. I think they look great, but based on my own experience, I wouldn’t advise anyone to buy one.

Based on my own experience, I wouldn’t advise anyone to buy one.

And yet, yet, I would advise people to buy one. They tidy up an area that looks very cheap, scruffy and unfinished. Not suitable for a Z3. The tonneau cover looks the part.
