Hi. Just to let you know this a Z4 specific forum, so you may not get much advice with your E93.
The mechanisms in the roof will be similar but no doubt slightly different. Good luck.

I keep an E93 at my place in the UK and hence it gets used very little for long periods.
The hall sensor on the boot parcel shelf failed on mine which of course prevented the roof from opening.
I assume from lack of use but who knows. In any case I replaced the hall sensor which cured the issue.
When you manage to get the roof open again it would also be prudent to lube the joints of the roof mechanism to avoid any surface corrosion. I used white lithium grease.

I'm no expert on these, but to me common sense says you need to get it out of transport mode first.
May be something someone on here could do with the correct tool.
