BMW 2004 M3 Convertible Manual Do Proprietário

Do not repeatedly interrupt and
resume the closing operation, as

otherwise the fully-automatic convert-
ible top mechanism could be dam-
aged.

In certain cases, the luggage compart-
ment lid cannot be opened if the open-
ing or closing operation has been inter-
rupted.

Operate the convertible top manu-
ally in emergency situations only

to avoid causing damage due to incor-
rect operation.

Convenience operation via
remote control and driver's door

Closing manually in the event of
an electrical malfunction

1 Emergency operation

2 Allen wrench

3 Recess

Only operate the convertible top
manually to close it. Never open it

manually since the convertible top
compartment lid cannot be locked and
would open during driving.

Manual closing is best carried out
by two persons from outside with

the driver's door open and the driver's
seat folded forward. No one is to be in
the rear seat while you are doing this.

1. Remove the center piece between

the rear seats. Take the trim off of the
guide rod and flip it forward

2. Press down hard on the emergency

lock 1 – see previous illustration.
After a brief pause, the mechanisms
for the convertible top compartment
lid will be released

If the mechanism for the convert-
ible top compartment lid does not

unlock, then insert the Allen wrench 2
into the recess 3 and turn clockwise to
release it.

3. If the luggage compartment lid is

closed, open the convertible top
compartment lid up as far as the stop
will allow
