I said that as I don't want it to turn into a Zshed debate. I know there are some robust opinions about that place.

I saw this..

And after an eye watering quote from BMW, and 3 so called specialists saying they "don't wish to take it on" I'm booked in next week. Nothing to lose and potentially a lot to save.

Yes, booked in for Wed. Had a long convo and Mike is confident he can repair it whilst I wait. Bmw have quoted me circa £2000 note I haven't told him that!

If Mike at the Zed Shed is fixing E89 roofs reliably without ripping people off, then he has got to be worth a shot IMO. IIRC the issues some had with him in the past were nothing to do with E89 roofs.
It seems it's him or Robbi realistically; and obviously Robbi is in Germany!
Steve...You could look to get the car trailed to them (or wherever) and back. There is a really good transport guy near Kings Lynn who is reliable and not too costly. NG Vehicle Logistics (Neil). Worth a few phone calls IMO.

It's a hell of a way from Norfolk. I'll get the car MoT'd soon and then make a decision what to do next.Pondrew wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 12:00 pm If Mike at the Zed Shed is fixing E89 roofs reliably without ripping people off, then he has got to be worth a shot IMO.

It will cost you around £500 for a return journey on a transporter. Then whatever the shed charge.
2 1/2 hours of a BMW dealership messing about without a clue will cost that!

Mine is being transported there one way, then I'm going to pick it up via train a few days later when it's done - Been assured it can and will be repaired, BMW charged me near £180 just to "plug it in" and tell me "we can't see any faults in the roof system sir"...

Is it still this fault situation?
viewtopic.php?p=1946538#p1946538
There is no trailer required.
This roof shell can be lowered and you can drive with that car even without this roof shell is beeing locked.
Only 2 simple steps to success:
1) Pin 12 method to get the trunk opened, alternatively your Foxwell tool.
2) Open the brass screw on the hydraulic pump located to the front of the car for max. 2 turns. Then move the shell backward with support of another person. That's it.
Just do it!

Here's a thread from 2021 with photos of how to replace hall sensors.

Could you get a local auto electrician to do it?

No. I wish it was because then I would have more chance of fixing it myself.RobbiZ4 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 29, 2024 11:34 amIs it still this fault situation?

Do you know which sensor / microswitch is bad? If not you will need a scanner like the Foxwell, Protool or ISTA to troubleshoot.

... and be sure that the fault code " roof shell 2 closed" never requires the replacement of this microswitch! And there are additional pitfalls with other misleading roof fault codes.

Then it's probably a broken wire...
