Roadster: manual convertible
top
The fabric top offers perfect protection against
the weather and can be opened easily and
quickly by one person alone.
Here are a few tips so that you get the most out
of your BMW:
> It is advisable to close the convertible top
when the vehicle is parked. When closed,
the top not only guards the passenger com-
partment from unforeseeable damage from
the weather, but also affords a degree of
protection against theft. Valuables, how-
ever, should only be kept in the locked
cargo bay, even when the convertible top is
closed.
> When the convertible top is open, the cen-
tral locking system also locks button 1 for
the convertible top, refer to page 27. The
convertible top cannot be operated. This
provides better theft protection for valu-
ables stored in the cargo bay.
> Never mount a roof-mounted luggage rack
system on the convertible top.
Never keep a wet convertible top in the
convertible top compartment for longer
than one day, otherwise the moisture could
cause damage.<
Opening
Operate the convertible top only when
the vehicle is stationary.
To avoid any damage when opening the con-
vertible top, make sure that the convertible top
compartment panel in the cargo bay has been
folded down, refer to page 23.<
1. Flip the handle out and turn it to the end
stop.
2. Fold the handle back in.
Do not guide the convertible top
towards the rear with the handle
folded out, otherwise the convertible top's
headliner could be damaged.<
3. Open the convertible top and guide it
toward the rear of the vehicle.
4. Gently swing the convertible top downward
and press until it engages audibly.
