I have two questions about the Z4 which I have Googled but for which I have not found answers.

1. Why do I have to hold the button down to get the roof open/closed? This seems really silly to me, and I feel like a dork holding the button to open or close the roof. The Boxster did not require this if the vehicle was moving - the roof would open/close automatically with one touch of the button. The Z4 seemingly needs to be completely stationary and requires one to hold the button. Why? Can this be changed?

2. We absolutely HATE the voice in the integrated BMW Satellite Navigation, particularly the way she pronounces 'NOW' (sort of, 'NARH') Is it possible to get another voice?

Thanks in advance for the answers and happy motoring!

cheers
It works that way because it works that way, ask the designer of the car why as we don't!

And no, you can't change the voice, learn to love it.
