If you think that one is nuts, look at the tech articles for my EOS. It does everything the Z4's top does plus has an integrated Power Tilting/Sliding Glass Moonroof and several more moving flaps and covers.

Yes a marvel of engineering (not only German, fine engineers of many nationalities work at BMW).

Developer/manufacturer of our E89s' roofs is Edscha - appears to be a German enterprise (insolvent, btw).

Here you can see 3D model of operational roof:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-O...TFMMEhmb3J2WW8

Edit: It seems that 3d is not working when viewing online, so if u want to see operational folding roof in 3D save it on ur computer and it should work without problem.
