my question is does the e46 come witht the hardware for the hardtop?
i heard they do if they are euro spec e46..how do i know if mine does or not...if someone has a hardtop could you please post a installed pictures of the hardware not the pictures just of the hardware itself so i can see if it is actually looks like mine has it on my car already.

thanks so much

I'm not a hardtop person but I know generally for the E46, it depends on how it was built/ordered. Mine didn't come with it. Don't know about euro spec ones.
