For sale I have a beautiful BMW E46 hardtop in good condition.  The hardtop was removed from a 2002 BMW E46 M3.  The color name is Laguna Seca Blue.  Because this hardtop was removed from an M3, you will notice that the trim on the edges is black and not chrome.  The paint is in very good condition as you can see in the pictures below.  There is a scratch on the driver side rear (pictured with a penny for reference).  On the top of the roof, there is a small round blemish in the paint.  It could be from tree sap but I am not sure.  The hardtop does have a coat of wax on it, but a proper paint treatment would really make it shine.  The headliner is all original and in great condition with nothing sagging or pulling away.   Feel free to ask any questions you may have.  I reply to most emails within a few hours or so as I have my eBay messages linked directly to my phone.  The pictures below are clickable so you can see a larger version.

I would prefer to sell this locally to avoid the hassle of shipping and also save you that money.  Since I live near Chicago, where there are multiple shipping terminals around, I am willing to build a fully enclosed crate out of 1/2" plywood for $125 (supplies & labor).  I also called a few freight companies and I received quotes ranging from $250 (east coast) to $400 (California) to ship such a crate.  These quotes were for dock to dock shipping only meaning that the buyer would have to make arrangements to pick up the crate on his end.  Delivering to a business will run another $50 or residential $100.  The crate will be 84" long by 66" wide by 36" tall and weigh approximately 300lbs total weight.  The crate would ship from zip 60499 (or nearby) in case you want to call for your own quote.  You may also want to look into Uship.com for other options though at that point you are on your own if damage occurs.

I have sold multiple hardtops in the past and have received nothing but positive feedback for each one.  I can provide you pictures of my past crates I built for reference.  I am open to talking on the phone as well, to answer any questions that you may have.  In the end we both need to feel comfortable when making this transaction due to the amount of money involved.

Thank You for looking……………..
