This is the issue with the soft top.

Looks like you are missing a few covers as well, item 26 below: -

Folding top mounting parts - BMW parts catalog



I think soft tops Croydon will put a complete new hood on for c£300 - £350

WOW really? thats cheap I thought I had a good deal on my 2.8 at £740 Are they any good?

Check on ebay, there are new roofs wit fitting in the range of 300 to 350. I have been intending to do it, but hopefully next year.

Had a look could not find any.

Had a look on their website and seems good!

Supposedly very good, the new tops do not have the removable rear window but with a little care the top should last for years.
