Looking good! I am in Murfreesboro, work in Nashville. Maybe we will cross paths one day. Haven't had mine out of the garage in quite awhile, hopefully Saturday since we will have a couple of rain free days finally.

Just got a 2011 E93 in Jerez Black

Pretty sharp looking car as is, but I may make a few modifications in the future.

She's tuned by Alex at Alpine

I have some test pipes waiting and I'm eyeing that Eventuri intake. Eibachs in a box ready as well. I only have ramps to do light maintenance but I may get some stands and a do the pipes and springs diy 🤷*♂️

But with sunshine forecasted, I may just drive.

Did my Eibachs this weekend drove it a bit and had it aligned yesterday. Super easy DIY, and I think you will be happy with the results!

Really didn't need the spring compressor, so did not use it on the passenger side.

My top is hanging up and of course not locking correct. Anyone know how much an independent BMW repair shop would charge to fix and the reasoning why it is doing this?

There are A LOT of little moving parts in the mechanism. Your description is pretty vague, can you take photos or be more specific? Is in just not "seating in" at the end of the closing cycle? It's a three step- trunk opens, panels unfold, roof seats(windows go up).
Also look at all the little cables(actually just little strings) and make sure they're attached and not getting pinched, prohibiting a seal. The headliner could also be unsecured at some edge or corner and be jamming up the seams between panels.
Like I said, A LOT of little parts.

Lowflight · 04-22-2020, 09:18 AM

When able I will send pics. I got the top to go down and lock with no errors om the first try the other day.
I have kept it down since. LOL

The main problem I have is that locking sensor not lining up. However, now it wants to catch a few times in the process of going up and down. It goes, but it catcese.
