Your avatar is an e85, is that your car? The smart top is only for the e89 I'm afraid. The gaptech is the best one for the e85.

Yes I know it's more than double the gaptech price, it's plug an play iirc goes behind trim behind passenger seat, but it does exist

Ha don't worry, I've upgraded to a 3.5i e89.

And my avatar is of my old coupe, so that would have been a wasted purchase. Ha

It really is 1st world problems having to hold your finger on the button to close the roof especially when you want to get out so as much as I feel £250 is excessive, I'd be interested in hearing how much we can get them for depending on the amount of interested parties!

I have held off getting one of these as it would be too easy to put the roof up and down at the wrong times, like driving slightly too fast and the wind doing damage.
The roof has far too many switches and pivots for risking anything to go wrong.
Really the only thing that would be handy for me would be putting the roof up via the remote when not in the car.

The speed you can operate the roof at is limited by the module, you can program it to work at several different speeds or only when stationary if you prefer :thumbsup:
My car lets me raise/lower the roof at up to 25mph as standard?

I've sent off an email to PPCGB about discounting for a group by and to be hones I was a little disappointed by there discount offer as they are only offering an extra 5% off, just over £15. I know they are already on offer down from £318 to £302.10 but I assumed that was down to the favourable exchange rate from the USA.

So the Price on offer is £287
