Guys:
I am in desperate need for a sunroof panel for the above BMW 528e, a 1988.
Does any body out their have one, or know where one can be found.  My car is
BRONZIT color, and would like one in that color, but not that is not a must.
Please let meknow ASAP if their is one tobe had.  I live in Hawaii, and
there is just no parts like this  avaiolable around here.

Have you tried eBay? I have seen entire roof assemblies on eBay ...

How about a MOONROOF instead?  Saab 9000 moonroof should fit your E28.
Then you don't have to worry about matching the color.

That's right.  Someone bought the moonroof glass panel off of my
wrecked 94 SAAB 9000 cs.  I was surprised when he said it is going on a
528.

Actually, it's a 535is - and it got here safely today at lunch, thanks
to some great intermediaries in the E28 and SCCA communities.  Too bad
the race they saw sucked out loud.  I haven't unpacked it yet, but
tonight ...  ;^)

For the OP, check in with the E28 group at www.mye28.com and ask.  I'm
sure someone will either have an orphan panel from doing what I'm doing
(mine's Cinnabar Red and I'm keeping it around just in case) or will be
selling from a parts car - Bronzit, if you're lucky!
