Re: Auto Roof
Just try it....instead of just pushing the open button on your key, press it and hold it
It ususally takes a good 6 secs or so to do anything then the windows drop etc and roof goes down
Mine has just developed a fault where the roof disengages then flips back four inches or so then stops, will have to get it seen to !
If it don't work you can get the key programmed at the dealer, it would appear that costs vary depending on what else is being done at the same time - £35 - £45 norm

Re: Auto Roof
No idea, when I picked up my z I tried it coz it worked like this on a 3 series convertible I had a few years back.
Only thing is it's a bit anoying it doesn't put the roof up as well (arguably more usefull if it starts to rain etc)
good luck
