What a shitty design...what are/were they smoking over there? :-)
It's my understanding BMW wanted the top assembly to be a modular design so that they could test it independently from the car, then drop it place, bolt in in and connect the electricals. They achieved that by mounting the motor to the left side hydraulic cylinder, but putting it inside the drain funnel instead of outside was truly boneheaded.
