Currently have a blue one, but I apparently need a new one, as it has shrunk to the point my window is unzipping. So...just looking for opinions on whether I should get a blue or black one. Thoughts?

I think blue looks the best on blue cars.

Black contrasts better obviously, but blue is what BMW had in mind. I'm saying blue.

I like both BLACK and BLUE, get it??? :D

If you want to look young and Jazzey, blue, want to look classy, black.

Blue is more esoteric, black is abundant..... BLUE!!

Anyone have a pic of an estoril blue car with the blue top? I need a visual comparison. :)

That's one of the shops I've already checked into. What did they charge you? How long have you had yours installed? Any issues?

$1095 for the top (Aftermarket California company)
$250 for liner and (Same
$125 for ears (kit) (BMW) by the back windows all installed.

A few concerns (5) that were all corrected.

If you purchase there or anywhere, Check the following:

Top works? (sync'ed)
Back lid (sync'ed)
Get a hose and look for leaks!

My old top, original 99, leaked through the stiching that rotted away

Ferman BMW uses after market in Palm Harbor $2400 top installed only.

Reeves 2495 + install (12 hours)

Cool. Not quite the deal the quoted me. $1,295 for the top and dog ears. No liner. Good to have some ammo to hit them back with. Thanks.

No way I'm letting the stealer do that job. They're ridiculous.
