Roof Repair Needed - Midlands (Chesterfield) 2007 E85
Evening,
Due to me being a new member I'm unable to PM so the few names I've noticed surrounding repairs are either the other side of the country or I haven't any contact details for them other that forum usr names.
Could someone be kind enough to advise whether there is anyone fairly local to chesterfield that is doing the roof motor replacements? Don't quite fancy paying the BMW Dealer prices if I can avoid it.
Thanks in advance!

I can sort that for you in about 45 mins. Cost to forum members is £80 with an additional £20 if the motor is dead and needs work. I have done over 250 of these and never had to replace a motor. I also carry spare pumps, hoses and roof control modules so whatever it is, I can fix it.Dr.Gee123 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2017 4:45 pm Evening,

That was 6 years ago so hopefully it has been fixed by now!

Yes, welcome to the forum, I had the same problem with the date of postings when I joined, can’t remember what I did, sorry but someone will know. Anyway, rules is rules, car photo please.



Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
