Just thought I would update on this and get any ore views. I found a local BMW parts place that had the exact part number module. I took the car up to them, they fitted the replacement module to see what happened. Everything worked i.e. windows, roof etc, but again when I turned the car off...

Hi Mate, have you by any chance got a GM5 STAR 12 Module. Part number 61356 963038. Might be a long shot but thought I'd ask !

Hi - I have a 3.0si SE, currently on 17" wheels all round. I assume these are a straight forward swap out onto my car ?

actually - just tried Merv again and got hold of him, nice guy. He thinks that given the roof is automatically dropping of it's own accord, that's not a usual symptom fixed by relay replacement, so recommends I get another module and try that. Hence, I'll be giving that a go.

will dig it out later and send on...

thanks guys, i think I'll try the star 12 repair I have found, if it doesnt work, I can always just buy another unit then.

Just an update on this, I tried Merv at autoelec, he replied to one ebay message asking me some questions to which I replied but then got no response back from him, I then tried calling many times this week, he doesn't seem to answer the phone or respond to voicemails, so not sure what's going...

thanks for replies all, will investigate options today.

Hi all, after any advice or experience on this please. I've been having a combination of window, roof and locking issues and also battery drain. All of the evidence points to the GM5 module, I also plugged in an OBD diagnostic which came up with a raft of faults, one of which was body control...

Any pics of the seats available ?

Thanks for replies guys, useful info, hunt for sport seats underway !

Hi there, I am looking to change my seats. I currently have non sport (2006 3.0 Si SE), but heated and elec adjust. I want to get the M sport seats, I'm not bothered about elec adjust, but do want heated. If I can locate a pair of M sport (Black) heated, whether they are manual or elec adjust...

Hi - are these manual or elec adjust....?

Thanks for the info, I wasn't going to lower it, as it's riding quite well now with the new tyres and I don't want to ruin it ! Interesting re the stubby, it seemed to be a popular mod, but not a must do for me. I've seen Royals on various forums, will check out the pricing....

Hi all, after recently purchasing an E85 3.0 Si SE manual, I'm just working through a few bits that need doing, both fixes and improvements. At the moment the car has 17 inch alloys and as I've swapped the run flats for Goodyear F1's I'm inclined to keep these, at least for the foreseeable...
