Yes it is!

Though I’ve bought all my cables from BCables!
Like this one Neil? Is this the correct one I would need?

Well the roof doesn't close, but the windows drop, never new that. :D

Doubt I will ever try it again.
It's quite useful in tight parking spots. I coded mine so it opens the driver's window as the door opens, and then it closes when you're in the car and close the door.

Just about to collect my E89. How do you open the roof with the key fob? I can't find anything in the manual about this.
