Manual convertible top, roadster
Weather protection
The convertible top combines reliable
protection from the elements with
simple, convenient operation. Here are
a few tips to ensure that you have plea-
sure with your roadster.
It is advisable to close the convertible
top when the vehicle is parked. The
closed convertible top not only protects
the passenger compartment from
unforeseeable damage from the
weather, it also provides a certain
degree of theft protection. In addition,
keep valuables only in the locked
luggage compartment, even with the
convertible top closed.
Never mount a roof-mounted luggage
rack on the convertible top. Please
contact your BMW center for suitable
securing devices and additional acces-
sories.
To prevent damage, do not operate the
convertible top at temperatures at the
freezing point.
To open
1. With the doors closed, lower the side
windows a few inches (centimeters)
2. To release the convertible top: pull
the levers outward on the left and the
right of the convertible top frame
(refer to the illustration)

3. Raise the convertible top approx. 8 in
(20 cm) from the convertible top
frame on the inside to relieve tension
on the top, refer to arrow 1
Be sure that the convertible top
folds at the front linkage joints
first, refer to arrow 2. If it does not, the
convertible top linkage could be bent.

4. Continue to raise the top at the front
and push it toward the rear into the
convertible top compartment.
In the process, make sure the rear
window is laid down evenly and free
of creases. To prevent the rear
window from being scratched, a soft
cloth should be laid in the window
