I have both a E89 Z4, and a 2008 328IC E93. I have not had one roof problem on either cars roof system. I keep a keen eye on looking for kinks in the wiring, and hydraulic hose routes on both cars. The 328IC was purchase new, on Euro Delivery in June 2008. I bought the Z4 used from a lot in Pennsylvania. Both cars have been care free as far as any major repairs. I do keep up with lube on both cars tops, and look for crimped lines and wiring harness problems. BMW encases the wiring harness, and hydraulic line is a hollow fabric. This is to prevent chaffing against the metal parts as the harness flexes within the top. I look for signs of chaffing and cover it with black friction tape, and paint the tape with Scotch protection fluid.
