- This is the Part 2 of the roof problem video we posted about 6 months ago, if you haven't watched that yet, click the link below and see what we found and in this video we talk about what bmw did and how you can potentially save thousands
Owning BMW like this makes you feel cool and it looks can be pretty cool! The way it transforms is eye catching, something like the transformers, the sound of the exhaust is absolutely beautiful and the breeze you get with the open top is unbeatable. But see people are so quick to point out the positives without paying attention to the cons of owning a BMW with the hardtop convertible equipped. before you buy these cars watch this video and rethink or at-least be prepared to spend loads on repairs.
if you are going to buy one of these cars Do remember to clean and lubricate the moving components of the hardtop, clean the rubber seals at-least every 6 months, failing to do this can end up costing you thousands in repair cost

ALL DONE! HURRAY! TOP IS WORKING. Doing the happy dance. Replaced the regulator, motor and vapor barrier.The motor had signs of rust, wire was kind of shredded and the bimmer repair shop (not the dealer) took care of it. He said he sees a lot of this problem AND gave a 3 yr guarantee. That was a nice plus. Thank you topgear Hayes for all info you provided as well as your followers.
I'm glad to hear 🙏 the problem is resolved. Remember to follow the maintenance procedures to avoid it happening again
@@TGHCUSTOMS oh yes, Glad I was able to find a repair shop that specializes in BMW and uses only BMW parts only. Can't thank you enough for your expert advice.
@@ilvsurfin we're glad this video was helpful 👍thank you for your feedback
I bought one November 2021. Waterlogged by Feb 2022. Started having electrical problems. Replaced electrical modules and seals as described. Over £1000. Not as bad as £5000 from bmw!
Due remember to carry out regular maintenance
So glad you found out, my neighbor has an M4 and I guess this happend to it aswell😭
All the convertible bmw are making in recent years are having the same problem
I have an F33, also had issues with water ingress, but in the rear quarter, then the roof stuck half open, because of the window regulator cable had snapped, I managed to fix it myself, by installing a used regulator, which cost me £100, I have since drilled both the drainage holes, and no issues, I regularly clean my seals with Gummi pflege, and WD any of the moving parts.
Great to hear you have taken proactive approach to this issue. Weldone 🙏
@@TGHCUSTOMS Thanks for highlighting the issues with your customers car, and am pleased BMW made a huge financial contribution towards the modules being replaced, bit of a worry though, seeing water ingress even after the work had been done, hopefully this gets resolved.
My F33 roof got stuck, fortunately it was 37 degrees, despite my best efforts, it had to go to BMW who diagnosed the tailgate boot latch had failed, the roof switch was absolutely dead, after me trying to get the roof up, no sign of life, I was so sure it was a wiring issue, or sensor/switch, BMW reset the fault codes, and roof was able to be closes again even despite the boot open being displayed on dash, new tailgate locking assembly being installed tomorrow, £711.00 ouch.....
I heard like something had snapped during pulling windows down. Rear side window not operating anymore, but hear motor still rolling and bashing something, i recon the line has snapped. Would i be able rewind new line myself you think ?
@@Takie_Tam_Filmiki you won’t get the tension, you need a new regulator, so I am guessing you don’t have the roof down to enable to get the regulator out?
You cannot diagnose a fault by watching a video bu I have a similar experience with the same problem where the seal on the air vent inside the boot became dislodged letting water in. The air vent is behind the rear bumper cover on the drivers side and it becomes dislodged if the bumper is knocked/banged from the side. This only needs to be a slight knock from the side but it can cause a leak and a large build up of water inside the boot. Early signs of this problem are condensation build up or musky smells. I would recommend a new vent/seal and small drain hole in case the air vent seal is ever knocked again in the future. Obviously the major cost is the consequential damage to the electrics
You will also get water ingress into the boot if the rear regulator seal which covers the bolt is left removed, it’s like a waterfall into the battery compartment, and rear seat.
Ensure the rubber grommet or seal is installed when tightening up the regulator bolt.
Hi, I've a 420d 2016 convertible and the roof opens and closes perfectly and locks into place but the computer says its not locked into position,.. but it is? Any ideas please
Faulty sensor
I’ve had drain holes done but getting roof is not latched message after a day of rain any ideas where to look ? After it drys out everything works fine
Boot area is bone dry I’m thinking a sensor somewhere any ideas where to look mate
Was the car under warranty before they fixed it? Mine has the same problem but its out of warranty
No it wasn't. But it's a known problem and you just have to try to convince them it's a manufacturing fault
@@TGHCUSTOMS Thank you, i will be doing that, Your video helped out!
I have 2020 BMW 4 series and my top doesn’t go down it l open on the top but that’s it it doesn’t go further then that
428ix - roof problems. Dealer says drain holes have to be enlarged and sealed AND a new motor for the window because it was probably shorted by water (the drain plug saga). $240 for this fix.....NUTS! why isnt bmw taking care of this nasty problem? Was this on a recall previously and never really taken care of?
Never had a recall. It definitely needs to be
My 435I was stopped ina place for few years now when i try to put the roof down it doesn’t go i hear a sound retracting the front glasses goes down the back glasses doesn’t move and the roof doesn’t move what could be the problem please update me in this thankyou !
Please give me a feed back if you’ve a idea i also changed the battery of the car cuz the old one was dead
Most likely where you have left the vehicle idle for a period of time, the motor is ceased. Remove the panels or spray some wd40
@@TGHCUSTOMS nothing to do w coding then ? Since o changed the battery also the second row shutters dont go down
@inevitable-bawx-3944 very unlikely. Battery change would cause vehicle starting issue more than issues with the hood
@@TGHCUSTOMS i see so you think it wont be a big deal ?
I have same problem what i have to do? Where is your address?
I have a regulator on the rear passenger window, anyone got an idea how to override the hardtop manually?
Did you figure out how?
@@junaizzz275 no I didn't want to push my luck so took to roof specialist Cayman in Redhill cost 580 but included the whole regulator change. I think it's a common issue some of the water stays under the regulator which damage the strings, it's not like the usual wear and tear but moving forward will just cover the car on the rain etc.
I think the procedure may be taken if you have a scanner to force the service on the roof which I don't have so overall it had to be done
the fix $2400 not 240 typo
I wanna get this car but this scares me...
Be scared. Be very scared. This is a very common problem on this car
@TGH CUSTOMS @TGH CUSTOMS damn... thanks for the info. So would a coupe with a sunroof be better?
Some people that the driving experience you get with the top down is worth the drawbacks of having a convertible.
This seems a bit deeper than a "drawback" so "drawback" seems like an understatement...
I was aware that it was a potential risk, but I was hoping that it wasn't a common one... crazy how such a big manufacturer could let this go on...
@@Ty-J_250 if I was you for peace of mind I would opt for the coupe. If you got a dry storage or garage to park the car go with the convertible
