In your boot , there's a little shelf, designed for giving more room in boot,
Make this is fully down as wont open if not
Twist the oblong handles in then out to move it up and back down incase switch stuck
Hopefully that'll be it

Does it unlatch from the windscreen and do your windows drop?
If none of those happen it could be same issue I had with mine, got mine fixed today.
Mine was a broken wire from the motor at the front of the roof above the windscreen. A couple other wires had kinks in them too.

D4dwg thank you. I will try to check this tomorrow after I finish my work and I hope it will get solved this way.

Firebobby thank you. Where is that microswitch and the parcel shelf?
The shelf is in the boot, it raises and lowers to allow you to put more luggage in. There's a track on the bulkhead between the cabin and boot, you will see a lever in the track, that's the switch.

I had a red light when I pressed the down button and nothing happened, no window movement, nothing. I sprayed the micro switch and it worked ??
EDIT
I just checked my old posts Russ and your right mate, it was the amber light that came on, so OP, it's not the switch.

Most welcome buddy
The micro switches of which are being talked about are the bits that I'm hoping you can trigger as may possibly need contact cleaner on them
But move shelf up and down using these oblong handles and fingers crossed its just a case if you've got a sticky switch or maybe if used boot you've knocked the shelf perhaps and lifted it off said switch and it thinks it's in up position
Let us know buddy!

On the off chance that it is unfortunately not the switch and something more serious, I had a gent on this forum fit a new motor for me. He's a BMW technician based in the Surrey area.
He buys the motor from the main dealer where he works, then fits it at his home.
Takes about three hours to fit. £580 it cost in total and as its a BMW part has a warranty on it.
Ross was his name. Bowser134 is his forum name.

Finally today I found half an hour after work to go and check what you told me with the shelf in the boot.
I did what you told me and it was exactly that. I feel a little embarrassed
It is a necessity to read finally the manual of car after 8 months owning it.
At the end I ended up having a long ride with the roof down in 23 degrees celsius. Small moments that show the joy of life
Thank you for your help guys!
