I had the Cabrio Module fitted to my old Z4 3.0i for about 4-years and I never had any issues or problems. A thoroughly good buy, I sold this with the car because at the time I wasn't 100% whether I was getting another Z4 or not. I now have a Z4M and I am missing the ability to close the roof with the key so I am looking at these modules again. I now have a choice between what I know in Cabrio Module or the gapTech. What are the views and opinions of owners with each type of module? Pro's and con's of both? What should I buy and why?
 
I have had both and prefer the Gaptech.

Installation of the Gaptech is sooooooooo much easier and I did not fancy hanging upside down underneath that glove box again.

What happens when you turn the key fully anti-clockwise and hold it there? On my Z4M it closes the windows and the roof ...

That works but not quite the same effect as three-clicks and walking away...
 
Can't comment on the cabrio module but my Z came with gaptech installed by the previous owner and it has never failed. It has pretty much universally positive reviews as far as I know.

Only have the Rheinhold module. Echo PVR's sentiment about hanging upside down under the glovebox. Upside though is it has performed without fault for several years.
 
When i got my car i bought a reinhold... Never fitted it, as i was waiting for a free weekend to tackle the fitting.

The gaptech is so easy to fit in comparison that as soon as i got it i fitted it within 30 mins no hassle!

So what you guys are saying really is both are much the same in operation and the only advantage to the gapTech is ease of installation? I never had any particular problem fitting the Cabrio module so this is a neither here nor there advantage to me.
