I've been in contact with the Sven, the developer for the mods4cars SmartTop module and they are planning a release soon for the 2009+ Z4.

Here is a video of their module in action:

They have a facebook page and twitter account if you want up to date info.

Sounds like a nice item, but it's an aftermarket item which never gets any resale value when you sell the car. So, in my opinion they should consider this. It seems overpriced at $365. I'd pay $200 tops. If they want to sell more, they should lower the price.

Can i JUST close all the windows with my remote? This is a feature i currently miss.

Also im not sure about the mirrors, currently i cannot close those from within the car. Does that mean i can also not do it with your remote?

for 300 euro these guys sell a similar one http://www.reinhold-engineering.de/frames_e.htm

This can be done with programming: www.car-coding.de

See my videoclip:

If you have folding mirrors, you also have a button at the windows controls in the car (next where you select the left and right mirror).

Ok thx for the info. I think i might order one soon. I do think the price is a little high though 100$ less would be better.

Price is too high for me. I'd pay between $200 to $250.

I just ordered by Z4 last week, please help me understand how this product is differentiated with the comfort access* capability I ordered on my car arriving next week.

Things this product does that the comfort access doesn't is one touch control, operate while driving, and remote folding mirrors. Please confirm that the comfort access already has the remote capability but it has to be held continuously - so its real advantage is for someone without comfort access is this a fair summary?

This is also my understanding. Indeed, I'd like to be clear that it will work properly with Comfort Access. For example, I don't want the mirrors to fold every time I touch the door handle to lock up, only when needed. I understand that although it is programmable as someone might have elsewhere, BMW disabled this feature over concerns about the longevity of the mirror-folding motor.

Incidentally, at least one of the makers of these modules makes the maximum speed at which the roof can be operated programmable between 0 and 35 mph. I have no desire to open mine at 35 mph as I cannot see this as anything but a bad thing for the mechanism but I would like to be able to do it in slow moving traffic or have it continue if the lights change mid operation.

I think this module is worth it, if only for the one touch operation. I don't think the folding mirrors feature is that necessary where I live as parking spaces are pretty spaced apart. If I do park on the street, its not that big an issue to manually fold the mirror.

I agree that the price should be less than $300 for what this offers. maybe the R&D for the module was more difficult than the R&D for the module that allows you to watch movies while driving?
