Curious question: Can the sunroof, aside from just plain opening, tilt up in the back for just venting, without sliding open?

I dont know for sure because I have the Cali roof, but Im pretty sure that it dosnt do that. I think its just open or closed.

Yes it will tilt up. I think if your sunroof is closed and you press the button close button again it will tilt open. There's only 2 ways you can push the button so it's not to hard to figure out. I'm too lazy to go outside and tell you wich way to push the button.

To tilt the sunroof, push portion of the button in direction of the windshield. It's nice to have when it rains but isn't hot enough to cut on the A/C. It won't leak as long as the channels are clear. Tilting up also makes it easier to condition the seals on the rear side of the sunroof.

OK, another curious sunroof question: was it standard? Or are there any ti's without a sunroof?

How much did the m3 mirrors cost you? I like your setup, she looks awesome. I like how you have the silver rims with black on the inside.

I want nice rims too! I like the black rims with silver or chrome rivets going around the outside (where his is just plain silver). I'm having a hard time finding cool stuff in 15s.

the best thing to do in this case is to remove the roof skin from a sun´roofed equipped Ti, and have it welded on to yours, sounds drastic i know but its common practice

just find a breaker / scrapper and get the bodyshop to do it. otherwise find a reasonably cheap shell with a sunroof and fit your other parts over

Default Huh??????

Where are you shopping. Of all the Ti's I've looked at, shopped for etc. I see maybe 10% that DONT have sunroofs. Most do. Maybe I'm just lucky?
