Unless you install a Smart Top, in which case you can configure it to fold just with a single quick button press.

Would recommend the Smart Top to any E89 owner, just for the one touch roof operation alone :thumbsup:

Hi all just updating my thread to say the car received a single stage detail + ceramic coating this weekend from epiccarcare. my first time I've had this done and it looks amazing, apparently the paint had around 100-120 micron thickness all around before works and paintwork was already in good condition only real swirling was on the black A pillars which apparently is quite common, came up a treat though as you can see in his before/after video he posted to instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CTNIZ6MtYCN/?hl=en

The car feels like glass now and super glossy, can't wait to get a first wash in a couple of weeks to see how the coating helps. There were some nice cars in the detailing bay too!

It's a lovely colour and came up super well after the detail!

He did it for £500, I had been quoted £1000+ elsewhere but as he doesn't use a mobile van and does it from his house he has low overheads basically. Only downside is that you have to make arrangements to get picked up after dropping your car off and then also get a lift to collect your car. My car had to be in for 2 days, 1 day to detail then next day to apply the ceramic and let it harden for a bit before driving. For the money I saved though I pulled a favour from a friend for a lift!

With a new car coming early next year I have put my 35is up in the ads section. If you wish to see the advert you can find it here, thank you
