Hi. I know this is an oldish video but I just found it very useful at it has enabled me to get my dead roof motor out get it working again and relocate it as you did. A great mod so thank you very much. If you weren't at the other end of the country I'd bring my car to you.

You are a gem of BMW information delivered in a highly professional manner! Looking forward to driving over 10000 miles to come in your shop in Bristol on my Z4.

Please more e46 underside restoration content. They are some of the best videos I have ever seen on KZfaq.

Thanks for this, I know its a while ago now but I've just bought a z4 with the same problem..

Best video I’ve seen on this repair yet, getting ready to do my 07, and this will help immensely!! Thank you!

Thank you for your video. Trying to do it myself right now and having trouble finding the final cable tie to pull the motor out. It is stuck in the bottom holder, any suggestions?

Thanks for this video! I helped a buddy change and move his motor on an 07 Z4. The hardest part was getting the motor up and out. The zip tie didn’t want to let go! It’s tight in there, and I’m only 5’8”! Sore all over today, but top started working perfectly right away.

Absolutely love these videos. Been missing you guys and your content.

Glad to see you posting again just can't ever get enough of the BMW content especially of the E46 variety. 💙💙❤️

Brilliant video thanks … It’s not easy to get the motor out of the housing > I poked a long bar through from the boot to rip the lid off the housing… There is a great thread on the web, which has pictures and explanation… Do look at that as well.

Wonderful job

Great video ,thank you

You guys are awesome. Would love to leave my car with you. 1 day. Keep up the great work!!

Very nice video,concise and clear instructions.

Fab demonstration, I have this problem with my z4 2.2i 54 plate. It's difficult getting a garage to fix the problem. Shame I'm not near you, as I'm in hull otherwise I'd be paying you a visit to fix it. Great video.

Hi - How do you release the cables as mine are stuck under the plastic enclosure box?

How much oil did you use. Mine was dead as well I keep adding oil & it keeps sucking it. Ut doesn’t open.

Great video. I followed your instructions. My motor worked but it was out of fluid. I filled it up. The top worked for several cycles then it quit. I noticed fluid dripping out if the right side. If the lift cylinder is leaking, do I have to remove the top to get to the lift cylinder?

Great to see some content on the Redish channel. Just wondering on your thoughts of Calvin's Diary (on You Tube) E46 M3 touring build, is it something you would do or have done before?

Great do you have one showing where the tray clips are and where did you get the carpet from cheers

Also happy subscriber here. Love this content.

Hello from germany,got a problem,i changed the electric part of the pump but now the roof open when i push the closing button and close when i push the open button!?And it stoped during this process.Would be nice to get an answer from you.Thank you.

Happy new year. So I’m planning on purchasing a Z4 with low mileage & the top isn’t working. The dealership said the motor has been replaced but it’s still not working. So what you think the problem could be?

Hi , I am doing this right now , but my motor cant be pulled out. There was one cable (which is attached to the black plastic on the side of the motor) that's short or stuck . PLEASE HELP 😭😭😭😭

Any details on creating the false panel?

Fantastic

I Change that look like need take roof out any video doing that

Love your videos. But he needs to ditch that chain bracelet when working on customers cars. Interiors or exteriors. That's not only sharp it's extremely bulky. Even just walking around cars not even working on them, an MOT tester shouldn't wear that. Oh yh and it looks shite 😏. Glad you saved this customer some money. Hopefully the motor is still serviceable for many years despite it being waterlogged for a substantial period of time. Can't of done it much good. Also look at all the scratches on the panel above the boot aperture some animal has been in there before with a chain bracelet. 🙄

👍🇺🇸

Luke needs to get rid of his chain bracelet. Massive scratch hazard lol
