Re: Upgrading from a F20 Sport to E89 23i M Sport Highline
quick question folks, is the option to put the hardtop down whilst driving up to 20mph an option and not standard?
Mine will only move when stationary. I'm not that bothered to be honest, considering getting the smartop module but I am curious.

Ours will move if you are at a crawling pace but really with the complicated nature of the roof and the cost if anything went out of shape due to wind damage I wouldnt put it up or down while moving at any real speed.
You could buy a Smarttop which will enable you to put the roof up and down with the fob and while moving.

It was only introduced during the facelift. Supposedly the design was changed and pump upgraded to allow the roof to be opened and closed at low speeds without putting too much strain on it.Z4 IDM wrote:quick question folks, is the option to put the hardtop down whilst driving up to 20mph an option and not standard?

It is a very nice option thought as it's very useful when it starts to rain or you've driven with the roof up and the weather then allows for it to come off without needing to stop.

obligatory aerial upgrade
Also....is it just me or do the alloys get very dirty, very quickly?! I've only had the car a week and they are filthy but the rest of the car is still looking pretty good.
Upgraded my key ring too

Re: Upgrading from a F20 Sport to E89 23i M Sport Highline
Hi. Great looking vehicle. Yes the alloys get dirty and yes they are hard to clean as you can see all the way across the girth. There should be something you can use to make the washing easier. Anyone?

Meguiars do a wheel brush that is not too bad.
Failing that an old sponge or a rag and get your hand in.
