doubt it -the open-air top assembly is a ten thousand dollar part from BMW - not even installed. RealOEM lists it for $4,693.83 54112267351 (bavauto lists 9724.95 & PelicanParts 10492.75) ! The motor alone is $450.

The one of the motor's gear tends to strip and is unrepairable, unfortunately.

there is a convertible top treatment from BMW that will make the faded tops look better. Funny people have no clue how to care for a canvas topped car anymore.
