What's This Red Part In My Trunk?

E85BMW · 02-21-2011, 01:17 PM

I can't find what this belongs to on RealOEM. Any help?

I don't think it's the trunk release. Here's a pic of that:

Asked on the Bimmerforums and found out it's used to manually open and close the soft top in case of a malfunction.

Hard to find!

The silly glow-in-the-dark ripcord thing is the Jimmy Hoffa release. Mandated by law, apparently so that some future teamster boss doesn't get kidnapped again.

LOL!

Glad you were able to find out what that was for....I too wondered

...some of the suggestions were ...well a bit snotty... seems being a newbie about Z4's sometimes creates unwelcome feelings to new members who are here to learn from more experienced owners.

Not really, we just like to have some good old time laugh

FIY: I did not know what that was for either.
