soft top operation...
my 04 top would only go up as long as the car wasn't traveling over 5 mph.
does anyone know if that is still the case with the Z4's 06' and up? |

My 2006 Z4MR will only allow top-up/top-down operation with my foot on the brake, and the car stopped (or nearly stopped).

I had a 2004 Z4 that let me put the top up if I was going under 10 I think. 10 or 5. I forget. It did allow me to continue accelerating once the motion started, but not accelerate too much.

I had a Honda s2000 where I cut the safety wire under the dash so all I had to do was engage the e-brake (1 click) which did not slow the car down whatsoever and it would go up. I always kept it under 25 mph when I put the top up (or down) though. It really came in handy when there was a instant downpour......put the hazards on, moved over and had the top up in no time without coming to a stop.

I honestly do not understand why you need to put the top up/down while moving. It's a sail while moving.
As far as putting the top up in a sudden downpour, there is always the shoulder. I can put up a completely manual MGB top in 40-45 secs.... |
