    Just wanted to share our newest addition.2000 BMW Z3 Roadster.Looks good next to my Ferrari and my wife loves it.Drove 900 mile round trip to Niagara for our 40th anniversary this weekend.Would have taken the Mondial but putting the top up is a b*!ch.Is it just me or am I doing something wrong? Original latches were not adjustable which made it impossible for one person to put the top up.got new adjustable latches but it is still a b*!ch.Thanks for any suggestions

    ...once you have mastered it. Don't get disheartened.

    Search the Mondial section for "tops". There are a bunch of threads and videos on the folding and unfolding technique. A few times doing it correctly and you will be an expert.

    Try this one and also look for DavebDave and his video on folding technique which includes the adjustable latches and how to set them. There is also a thread on how to set the tension of the top itself, somewhere.

    Nice stable by the way.

    PM me if you need more assistance.

    CONGRATS Fred, you have a classic collection of cars!
    But like Chief Brody said, 'You're gonna need a bigger boat' to house all your toys matey.
    BTW, here is my 2000 Z3, they are great cars, I sold it to my dad.

    Cheers
