Opening and closing
Controls
After switching off the ignition
When the remote control
is removed or the igni-
tion is switched off, you can still operate the
windows for approx. 1 minute as long as no
door has been opened.
Convenient opening and closing
For Convenient opening and closing using the
remote control, refer to page 34. For Conve-
nient closing using Comfort Access, refer to
Locking on page 40.
Pinch protection system
If the closing force exceeds a specific value as a
power window closes, the closing action is
interrupted and the window reopens slightly.
Despite the pinch protection system
check and clear the window's travel path
prior to closing it; otherwise, the safety system
might fail to detect certain kinds of obstruc-
tions, such as thin objects, and the window
would continue closing.
Do not install any accessories that might inter-
fere with window movement. Otherwise, the
pinch protection system could be impaired.
Convertible: the rear windows are not equipped
with pinch protection. Therefore, watch them
closely when closing to avoid personal injury. <
Closing without pinch protection
If there is an external danger, or if ice on the
windows, etc., prevents you from closing the
windows normally, proceed as follows:
1.Pull the switch past the resistance point and
hold it there. Pinch protection is limited and
the window reopens slightly if the closing
force exceeds a certain value.
2. Pull the switch again past the resistance
point within approx. 4 seconds and hold it
there. The window closes without pinch
protection.
Coupe: glass roof, electric
To prevent injuries, watch the glass roof
while closing it.
Take the remote contro l with you when you
leave the car; otherwise, children could operate
the roof and possibly injure themselves. <
Tilting
Press the switch.
>The closed glass roof is tilted and the
sliding visor opens slightly.
Do not close the sliding visor forcibly with
the roof in the tilted position, as this would
damage the mechanism. <
Opening, closing
>Push the switch rearward to the resistance
point.
The glass roof and the sliding visor open
together as long as you hold the switch in
this position.
> Push the switch rearward past the resis-
tance point.
The glass roof and the sliding visor open
automatically. Briefly press the switch again
to stop the opening movement.
You can close the glass roof in a similar manner
by pressing the switch forwards. The sliding
visor remains open and can be closed by hand.
For Convenient opening and closing using the

ControlsOpening and closing
After switching off the ignition
When the remote control is removed or the igni-
tion is switched off, you can still operate the roof
for approx. 1 minute as long as no door has
been opened.
Pinch protection system
If the glass roof encounters an obstruction dur-
ing closing from approximately the middle of
the opening in the roof, or during closing from
the tilted position, the closing movement is
interrupted and the glass roof is opened again
slightly.
Despite the pinch protection system
check and clear the roof's travel path prior
to closing it; otherwise, the safety system might
fail to detect certain kinds of obstructions, such
as very thin objects, and the roof would con-
tinue closing. <
Closing without pinch protection
If there is an external danger, press the switch
forward past the resistan ce point and hold it
there. The roof closes without pinch protection.
Following interruptions in electrical
power supply
After a power failure, there is a possibility that
the glass roof can only be tilted. The system
must be initialized. BMW recommends having
this work performed at your BMW center.
Convertible: convertible top
The fully automatic top combines reliable
weather protection with simple and easy-to-
use operation.
The following tips will enhance your driving
pleasure in your Convertible:
> It is recommended that you close the con-
vertible top whenever the vehicle is parked.
The closed convertible top not only pro-
tects the vehicle interior from damage due
to unforeseen bad we ather, but also pro- vides a certain degree of protection against
theft. However, even when the top is
closed, valuables should
only be stored in
the locked trunk.
> Do not mount any roof rack systems on the
convertible top.
> If the top is opened while it is wet, e.g. after
driving in the rain, water may drip into the
trunk. If necessary, remove items from the
trunk beforehand to av oid water stains or
soiling.
At temperatures below +14 7/–10 6, do
not move the convertible top as this could
result in damage.
Do not keep the convertible top in the convert-
ible top box for longer than one day if it is wet;
otherwise, the moistu re may cause damage.
Do not place objects on the convertible top, as
otherwise they may fall off when you operate
the convertible top and cause damage or injury.
Never move the converti ble top when the roll-
over protection system is in the activated
position.
Always completely finish the operation of the
convertible top. Driving with the convertible top
incompletely opened or closed can result in
damage or injury.
Do not reach into the mechanism during the
opening or closing procedure. Keep children
away from the opening/closing path of the
convertible top.
For safety reasons, only operate the convertible
top while the vehicle is standing. <
While opening and closing, the convert-
ible top pivots upward. When operating
the convertible top in a garage, under a bridge,
etc., ensure that there are at least 6.5 ft/2 m of
headroom; otherwise, the vehicle may be
damaged. <
