Description : 01 May, 2023

Has the soft top hood on your BMW Z4 stopped working ?

The usual symptoms are that it will unlatch from the top of the windscreen and then stop before dropping down into the boot. (Main Dealers will quote you £800-£1200 to rectify this.)

BMW located the Motor right underneath the hood, in a well that fills with water as soon as the drain holes block with debris.

In just a couple of hours, I can relocate the motor into the corner of the boot where it takes up minimal space and then stays warm and dry, concealed behind a false carpeted panel. I will also clear the drains at the same time whilst I have access under the roof.

Even if your motor is still working , this is a good preventative measure for your Z4. I can also totally replace the roof if its slashed or ripped (but I dont do fabric repairs)

In 80% of cases the motor is salvageable and once dried out e back to life (although not guaranteed). However, I usually allow up to an hour of time trying to get the motor running and also lubricating the bypass valve (activated by the red hoop) that in most cases will have stuck after 10 years of inactivity.

I do carry some spares, so can normally resolve the issue in one visit, however the advertised price is for the relocation. (Spares and replacement motors at additional cost)
If your motor has recently failed don't leave it for months as it will continue to rot and is unlikely to be salvageable months later, so will cost more in the long run..

I can carry out the work either Sat, Sun Mon or Tuesdays in North Bristol and in a large double garage, so the weather isn't an issue.

Please see the pictures to to understand the process..

Please call me to discuss. Alan
