Dude - be VERY careful cleaning that beige soft top because it will start to FRAY and wear out if you aren't! also try hard to keep it "impregnated" (waterproofed). Problem often is, when you rub hard to keep the light colored top clean, it starts to wear out. In another year or two, I wil lhave to replace my top for these reasons. Just a heads up bro'. LOOKIN' GOOD baby!

thanks for the comments guys, and roadster dude, how do i clean the soft top? i know theres soaps or whatever, but in ur experience whats the best way? brush? cloth?
You think you need anew camera and better photography skillZ? Why? I think they turned out great. Course, that may just be the uBaRsek-cness of the yummy z.
OMG -- so effing haWt. I simply love that color, and over time I have been able to appreciate that the z3 is super sessy (you know, for a soft top ).
thnx, yea the color is what sealed the deal on it....never thought id buy a car that color, but somehow it just looks good on the Z, love the way it changes hues in the z, it will go from a burgundy looking, to orange/copperish its weird, but i love it

dunno, ive seen some pictures on here and other forums that look so amazing, like speeds picturs...but then again, those are like thousand dollar cameras...lol
I waited too long to clean the beige soft top and then, even using BMW cleaning products, I had to scrub pretty hard with a towel to get blackish stains off and I think that started to wear out the canvas. SO-stay on top of it! Also, definitely keep up with cleaning that pain in the ass rear window, as that is the first sign of a Z owner who does or does not take care of their car! Soo happy for ya man. Ciao.

yea, im starting to get black stains on there, i use this really kick ass carpet cleaner to clean the interior of my cars...think i can use it on the top? whats the top made out of anyways? and as for the window...its already all foggy, gonna get some plastic polish and go at it, maybe tomorrow if i have time
well, my tops black so I've never really noticed it looking dirty....I haven't cleaned the top in a few months...I'll have to look at the directions on the bottle before I can tell you how I did it..
as far as the waterproofer goes....here's a word of caution: make sure you don't get any overspray on the paint.....from what I've experienced it doesn't damage the paint but it takes nothing short of goo-gone or paint thinner to get that stuff off....if left on the paint it looks really bad....
