You can lower and raise the roof without having comfort access (certainly on UK cars).

If you have comfort access the roof goes up a bit so it's easier to access luggage in the boot. Sorry for the misinformation!

They say you can't open or close the roof when driving (3th brake light is not visible when roof is busy opening/closing)...
BUT what happens we you start driving during when the roof is busy opening? It just stop opening and you have to stop the car and press again the opening button? EdP |

On the old Z4 you could hold the button in and then drive off, but keep the button held to complete the operation. If you let go of the button whilst the car was moving, the roof wouldn't move until you completely stopped! I think there will be a speed detector and the roof will only move if you are stationary.

I think if u are moving at speeds lower than 30km/h, the roof would still be in motion and won't make u look like an idiot with a half opened roof :-P

Comfort Access in the E89 works same-same as E93. Info above is mostly correct.
Close to car (13 feet for E93 and probably same for E89 - antenna range), press and hold LOCK on fob to raise roof, UNLOCK to lower. Car does not have to be running.Having lived with the hardtop for over two years now in my E93, these comments: Absolutely trouble-free (after early replacement of faulty interlock switches in top of windshield - no longer an issue in cars built after earliest runs).In all, no one should hesitate because of the roof. It's a BMW home run and the E89 has two years E93 design and field experience. |

US SPEC:
Lowering / Raising via FOB no problem /w ComfortAccess 302 The Roof will not move while driving. Reason Nr1: You will risk deforming it (the mechanics) since it will act as a big sail while moving. The Roof will stop moving and the car will inform you in a very -well- obvious way that the roof operation has not been completed.... PING PING PING No E-Brake needed. Just tried it outside..... Ray

Hi,
I have just got this car without comfort opening and can open the roof with the key fob button but not close it, for that I have to use the key in the door lock. Z4 beemer guy, can you really do both with the key fob buttons. If so how? Thanks John |

I tend to only operate the roof with the engine running as it apparently puts less strain on the battery.
