E36 M3 Evo convertable help
Discussion
I have just bought the cheapest m3 evo convertable ever i think on a whim and for this i have several jobs to do, car is a 96 has covered 60k with history but two things i need to know
I have read many questions on here about the vanos being dodgy. What is vanos and how will i know if mines knackered
second the roof does not come down it does absolutely nothing no noises clickings or anything else,does anyone know of any areas to try first ie dodgy areas or componets

Vanos is easy get the vin and ring BMW UK or go to a dealer who will check the database. Have a read of this and check for rattles http://forum.bmwcarmagazine.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=23624#274302

With the roof it sounds like you are about to find out that there is no such thing as a free lunch I'm afraid.

You might be lucky. The total lack of response sounds like the problem with my EVO roof back in '99 - It was a blown fuse and cost about £80 to put right!
Hmm like the sound of the fuse that would be superb motor sounds hideously expensive,can i put it down without power or do i need it no special catches anywhere for putting down manually that any one has heard of? As for what i paid for the car well less than i can find a coupe m3 for never mind an evo but had to put in a clutch and new back tyres deep joy got to get them yet and fix this darn roof auto electrician coming Tuesday so will know more then and if any one has an offer for the car let me know
