UPDATE:

OEM Sun Roof panel is off......








Test Fitting OEM CSL CF roof....












Center Support Bow for cars without sunroof installed and welded on....












Interior all wrapped to protect from any damage......


Some close up of the drilled out tac welds.....




Clamps, Adhesive, locked and loaded in the gun.....ready to move forward with the install of the roof.....






Sound deadening for the roof....


My Complete OEM CSL Interior.....


The Beautiful OEM CSL Roof lying there waiting to be glued on to the car.....




Darth Vaders waaaiitttiiinnggg.....


Cleaned the roof from the inside with alcohol to prep the surface for bonding. It is beautiful how BMW have markings underneath to help align the roof with the car and center support beam....








Applying the SEM adhesive....














Then the roof becomes one with the car.....






















Interior goes in tomorrow after the cars had about 24 hours of no moving etc. Wheels wont be painted this time but will get them done in a few weeks.

More pics to come tomorrow....hopefully

Oh and just to let you guys know i had SO MUCH FUN standing around in 115f, 70% humidity taking pics

DO IT. I already had a full detail before he car went in for the roof. When it comes back it'll get a full wash and two coats of wax.

UPDATE:

All done and it looks amazing......











I would like to say a big thank you to ekanoo and ekanoo racing for helping put my worries aside of having the roof installed.

I will update with more pics in 2 days with some more pics as tomorrow im busy all day plus the detailers are coming back for a wash and wax for the car. The car feels a bit more nimble. I feel it needs to have the height adjusted on the front by lowering it 5mm more and a good corner balancing.

Beside the lack of the OEM clear corner indicators which I believe add the perfect contrast to an all black E46 the roof and car overall look fantastic. Those seats...

Dropped the ///M off at LLUMAR BAHRAIN (Ekanoo) For the clear film protection on the roof. Too afraid of it getting scratched by stone chips etc....
















Its weird how the car feels lighter. Did anyone else feel the car handled differently after the sunroof to CF roof swap? I can see that the height needs adjusting again as it looks like the cars sitting slightly higher now.

Mmmmmm very nice! I searched long for a hardtop E46M so I plan to resist the CF roof temptation (though that Evolve piece is tempting...)
