Hope there maybe someone who can help with what seems quite a specific problem that has proven to be very intermittent ... until now!
I thought the problem had disappeared but sadly not. The roof cycle is simply not completing either up or down, hence that car is currently in my parents garage.
The issue:
When opening or closing the boot closes but does not register as being closed. The motor can be heard whirring away over my right shoulder trying to secure the boot and hinge to open normally. However, as many will therefore know, with this not completing, the windows therefore do not rise to complete the 'open' cycle, whilst when closing the rear screen remains on the roof as it is registered as not closing the boot properly.
Having spoken to a helpful guy in Lincoln (z4 Refreshed) who sadly does not deal with the E89 version, he suggested the hall? sensors (clearly i'm not very technical when it comes to cars!). I have had a post before with the suggestion of replacing 2 sensors and getting these from Sopers at Lincoln but as I say it seemed to have solved itself. Having already taken it to one local 'BMW specialist' who replaced the boot shelf, and another suggesting the battery (which is not the issue either), can someone recommend a reliable, honest and fair priced garage or individual who would be able to pinpoint the issue and help resolving it?
I live just north of Peterborough and would be able to travel a reasonable distance as long as the weather is good and the car can be fixed on the day or kept in the dry whilst the repair is done. I can't however get the roof up and the red 'cycle not complete' pinging is constant when driving.
Any help would be appreciated.
