Roof Motor UK

Post by govinderubhi » Wed Nov 03, 2010 7:18 pm

To all

I really apologise if this has been covered before, but I have searched the forums and for the life of me I cannot find the answer (or I am blind)

I am looking to purchase BMW Z4 Roof Motor (Part Number 54347193448) and the Sound Insulation Housing (Part Number 54347119635) from a site in the UK. Does anyone know of any? And how much?

(BMW just quoted approx £1,500 to do this job so I figured I would give Shipkillers very descriptive 'DIY' link a go.....although need a weekend of sun and no wind)

Thanks for help, appreciated

Speak to Joe @ Soper of Lincoln BMW (parts) 01522 690000 and mention the forum. Great service and great prices too :thumbsup:

To anyone looking at this discussion, I managed to locate the parts from Motormec (www.motormec.co.uk). They are not on their website, but if you ring them up they can supply

Roof Motor: ~£259
Sound Insulation: ~£60
Repair Kit: ~£30
Hydraulic Oil: ~£15

This is pretty good, considering I went to my local stealer on Wednesday and they quoted me ~£700 just for the Roof Motor

I have done a lot of searching on the net and the majority of places online say they do not stock the part and refer you to the stealers

Cheers Navid....I left Joe a couple of messages but no call back, he must have been busy but no worries at all, and Motormec happened to call me back so just went with them

I tried Joe before Motormec (both today), Motormec just happened to get back to me quicker so just used them. Nothing against Joe

Thanks for the help though, when I rung Soper they told me Joe was the Z4 expert

Ah OK. One thing that I can agree is sometimes they can be a little slow in getting back on quotes. Hopefully he won't get back to you now with a much lower price :D

the reason for late replies,would have something to do with the number of days Joe has off :rofl: if he is not there talk to Jamie,he knows about the forum and is a good guy as well.

Just spoken to my local BMW dealer and got a quote for the motor and sound insulation and he said that its also worth replacing the wires that come out of the pump which cost £55. Is this worth replacing or not?
