I had 2 e36 M3 verts and currently have a 135 vert. Assuming the top on the one you're looking at is in good condition currently, it should keep you dry inside. You should keep the top clean and treated with something like 303 https://www.googleadservices.com/pag...ECAIQDQ&adurl=

and keep the sealing surfaces like the top windshield cross member, the top window seals, and toneau cover clean and well treated with gummipfledg to ensure it stays water tight. I'd also suggest getting a car cover if you're planning on parking outside for long periods of time.

On E36s, the mid layer of the top seems to break down before the outer or inner layer, so you will get small pieces of black felt like fabric falling out from between the the top when you put it up and down.

E46s are nicer because they went to a glass rear window. The e36 plastic rear window is pretty crappy. It crazes, can crack and was the most prone place for leaks on mine.
