    Help please- on holiday and roof stuck!

    Did not check the boot sides were clear and my camera bag was there! Roof opnenes so far and is now stuck, crushing the camera bag. Pressing the roof button to reverse it does not do anything, just a warning ding. Any advice would be very much appreciated .

I know I can get this on my phone but can only activate Alexa on it by pressing the home button, so not really hands free. Fairly straightforward using the Alexa App on my...

    Do E89s need the roof motor relocated?

    I have read it’s a good idea for the soft top Z4’s to have the roof motors relocated but am not clear if this is also needed for the E89’s? Does the E89 suffer with the same design fault please? Thanks
