    Finally got my e46 Vert

    Hi all, I’ve always loved the classic e46 convertible body style and have been looking at them for years. I finally have proper garage space and have picked up a 2006 330Ci ZHP convertible auto trans and couldn’t be happier. Titanium silver ext (not my first choice, but growing on me) w/gray int. Many thanks to the members here on what to look for and potential problem areas. Definitely came in handy in my search. Car has 82k miles, looks great in, out and underneath. Previous owner was an enthusiast and took great care of her. Having a local shop giving it a thorough run through on Monday. We’ll see how it goes.

    Welcome! That's a happy first post but you know what they say...

    Just got a vert myself an E93, so 2010, 55k miles. I immediately started working on the rubber seals for the top. Need cleaning and the stuff to condition them, keep them pliable. I also greased up all the articulation points. I have a hardtop, so could be different. Still learning myself about the special needs of a vert.

    The best part is the rigid body, compared to my E46. The worst part is the rigid body because: weight.

    But it's a hoot to drive.

    Welcome, and congrats - now we just need some warmer weather for you to fully enjoy it! TiAg is a great color (I have it on my E39 5er) - understated, and slow to show dirt.
    Post photos when you get a chance.
