We had major Smart Top issue too!

We just bought our 2009 Z4 35i about a month ago. As I was putting the top down. I stopped it about 1/2 way. When I tried to get it to go the rest of the way the top jammed really badly.

We had to call BMW Assist to get it driven (towed) to the dealership. BMW Concord found that a Smart Top was installed and told me that these devices can effect the timing of the various top opening and closing functions and this is why it jammed so badly. It was like the top went down without the trunk door opening all of the way.

They fixed the top at no charge and I decided to pay them $450 to remove the device. By the way, they say they have never seen a top jammed halfway up like ours before.

I am happy I do not need to worry about this anymore! The worst part was not having it for a week over the 4th. With its red interior, it is a natural for the 4th.
