Manual convertible top
The fabric top offers perfect protection 
against the weather and it can be opened 
easily and quickly by one person alone.
Here are a few tips so that you get the most 
out of your Z4 roadster: 
>
It is advisable to close the convertible 
top when the vehicle is parked.
The closed convertible top not only pro-
tects the passenger compartment from 
unforeseeable damage from the 
weather, but also provides a certain 
degree of theft protection
>
In addition, only keep valuables in the 
locked luggage compartment, even 
with the convertible top closed
>
When the convertible top is open, the 
central locking system also locks the 
release button for the convertible top. 
The convertible top cannot be oper-
ated. This provides better theft protec-
tion for valuables stored in the luggage 
compartment
>
Never mount a roof-mounted luggage 
rack system on the convertible top.
To open the convertible top
Operate the convertible top only 
when the vehicle is stationary.
Never store the convertible top for longer 
than one day while it is wet to avoid perma-
nent damage from moisture.
<
Before opening the convertible top, 
make sure that the convertible top 
compartment panel in the luggage com-
partment is lowered to avoid any possible 
damage; refer to page 
.
