I wouldn’t build the engine exactly that way - the consensus these days seems to be that a 2.7 is more durable (!), but I would happily take it.
And they did not offer non-sunroof M3s in the US. The only US slicktop available E30s were some very early cars, and the ‘91 318is. Unfortunately, that was also the time of aftermarket sunroofs, so a significant fraction of the (tiny) slicktop 318is population had a hole cut in the roof anyway.
They were available slicktop, and in a bunch of different variations in Europe.
My M3 was converted to slicktop when I restored it. The sunroof cartridge was rusting badly, and I wasn’t interested in welding a new one in.
