Nuga,

You say you have an e12 M535i? If you have any pics you might like to post them in the other BMW section - I'd love to see it :wink:!

And yes, I agree with the others - a very good restoration project. I look forward to the finished product!!

Cheers
Mathew

The material is glued only to window and sunroof frames. Black things are temporary clamps to fixate material during stretching and glueing.

Both great restorations, but I love the Edition S. Do give me first refusal if you ever decide to sell it in the future nuga!
