E36 M3 | Deleting Sunroof & Installing Carbon Fiber Delete Panel (semi-instructional/DIY)

[@miked5789]

'....and it exposes DEEZ NUTS.' I giggled. Nice work. Trick for anyond considering this, use an ice cube to smooth the silicone on the outside, won't stick to it.

The tool I use to turn the sunroof motor with is just a hex key. This hex key is the one in the tool kit on the inside of your trunk.

do you have the sunroof assembly? I would like to purchase it

[@spencervogen8010]

Update on the delete? Any leaks? and do you have the link for the sunroof plug?

[@Carpythesharky]

No leaks. And I don't expect to ever have any leaks. The panel is really well made and fits like a glove. I put so much roofing sealant in there I shouldn't ever have problems. Panel is made by S2Rtuning. Can also be bought on Bimmerworld. You can purchase directly from Alex, but traditionally the wait time directly from him is >2 months. If BW has it in stock I'd purchase it from them.

What roll cage is that ?

[@Carpythesharky]

Made by Ben Sipson @ baysidefabrication.com. I found his rear cage design on a thread he started on Bimmerforums, and ordered it direct from him. Fits much tighter than the Kirk rear cage, and other multipiece offerings for the E36 (Sipson's is a one piece design). Ben recessed the bar that is right behind the driver's seat so I could move my seat back more, and made the top of the roll hoop higher than normal as I am planning on eventually removing my headliner. He did that free of charge. Was ~$600 shipped IIRC. It's NASA TT and potentially GTS compliant as it stands. But is the correct material, measurements, and angles to be the base of a fully welded cage that is NASA, BMWCCA, and SCCA compliant for once I start getting into NASA GTS.
