We specialise in solving BMW E36 soft top and convertible roof repairs
The BMW E36 cabriolet arrived in the UK with a hard task to match the popularity of its’ 10 year old predecessor, the BMW E30. The aspirational BMW E36 soft-top appeared 3 years after the lunch of the third generation BMW 3 Series in 1994.

Very few compromises were made in the development of the BMW E36 convertible, with the hood engineering standing up against even better hoods made today.
The interior has hardly dated, adding style and desirability to the now classic soft-top folding roof.
Despite the age of these popular vehicles, parts for the convertible roof repairs are still widely available across the new, refurbished and second-hand markets.
