Hey Jerry, I just tried adding your email address to several hundred porn sites so they would spam you, but they all said you're already on them...

Re: Is there a market for roof motor relocation?
Hi bowser134
Is this service up and running?
I may be interested in the new year. Seems a good preventative measure.
Have you any photos of the finished product in the boot?
Cheers

Re: Is there a market for roof motor relocation?
I asked this on another thread but got no takers, as of yet.
Is the roof motor always located on the left side of the vehicle or is it passenger side (left in the UK, right for the rest of us)?
I am interested in relocating the motor to the trunk and thus far, the only folks that have done so are in Germany or England. And you all ain't easy to get to...

Re: Is there a market for roof motor relocation?
There is a place in Harrogate that now relocate the roof motor in the boot somewhere and charge just short of £600 all in and that is using a new motor not a refurb one. If, or should I say when mine goes i will definatley be taking mine there to get it done. If you just go on Ebay and put in Z4 roof motor you will see the item
BMW E89 3.5i M Sport manual, loving it….
Audi S5 Cab, Great car but not special enough….
BMW E89 3.5i DCT, Havana Brown, should never have sold it…..
BMW E85 3.0 Auto, sadly missed (twice)

Re: Is there a market for roof motor relocation?
Howdy, Firebobby.
That would be my impression as well, but before I went digging around in the trunk (which tends to get rather violent) I wanted to be certain. Things like solo placement of same random part gets complicated between our two nations...

Re: Is there a market for roof motor relocation?
Are you getting a new motor installed or just getting the existing one moved? If the latter, what's the cost of that, if you don't mind me asking.firebobby wrote:Should be getting my one done next weekend by Bowser

Well this is what Bowser said earlier in this threadbowser134 wrote:I'd be looking to relocate a working motor for around £200 with the motor being hidden.
As a guide if you've seen some of my threads previously with motors ive replaced in the factory location you will see the standard of work I set.
