    Saab 9000 sunroof?

    I was reading on another forum that the sunroof glass from a Saab 9000 is a direct fit for an e28, and I was wondering if that means it will fit an e23? If so it'll be a great upgrade for some! Can anyone shed some light on this subject?

    well 2 ways to find out

    1. measure the dimensions and see how they compare

    2. check realoem and see if the e23 and e28 sunroof has the same part numbers.

    That's the old school way to get a glass tinted sunroof rather than an oem bmw one. I saw it last like 10 years ago iirc dude was saying it's almost perfect to oem one but i didn't inspect closely. I wouldn't do it unless u have a reason to. The roof panel and cartridge are fragile and ur bound to break something. I had the euro bronzit sunroof before but never used it, cover was always closed.

    Not me bro. My sunroof works and I'd break something I couldn't replace.

    I may not mess with it then, I thought I'd just post up in case someone really wanted a glass one.

    I always see people who talk about wanting the moonroof glass (myself included) but I don't know if I've ever seen anyone actually do the swap.

    That's bronzit, it's a euro option for the windows and sunroof. The mirror effect may have been reflection from the sky i dunno if there's an additional reflective layer in there
