Hi everyone
I have a 2015 335d LCI Touring in grey, changed wheels from 20s to 19s as pot holes are a nightmare but as a first BMW, absolutely loving it. The other thing I did was bought a spare wheel to keep in the boot as I don't want to ruin lovely wheels and tyres with the pump it in stuff, which also wouldn't be helpful for anything more than a standard puncture. Looking forward to being part of this community. -

Intermittent noise from the roof on my 635d convertible !!
Hi again Dave. Yes - i suspect an hour or so of labour at circa £60.00 per hour ! I live in open rural countryside and on the flight path of some really filthy birds with bowel issues (it is a good job that cows don't fly !) Leaving the top open outside of my bungalow is not an option;as far as the hair is concerned that is not a real issue either because even with the seat at the high position I am not in the draught zone ! The convertible has a really neat feature that allows the hood to be dropped and yet the rear window can be left in place as a deflector instead of using the folding one that then turns the car into a two seater !! Yesterday I drove back from Fleetwood - a distance of some 40+ miles with hardly a hair out of place - yes,I am still well blessed with enough that I still use a comb No-longer do I have the Elvis and Billy Fury look with the DA and the widows peak; they have gracefully disappeared into oblivion - alas only evident in photographs of the late 50's and beyond. -

Intermittent noise from the roof on my 635d convertible !!
Hi John Sounds like goodish news hopefully not expensive As the suns out you could just leave the top down, no noise then 🤣🤣 Me I don't even have a sun roof 🤣😂 so I can report no noises plus I don't have enough hair to allow the wind in it 😂 Dave -

Intermittent noise from the roof on my 635d convertible !!
Hi again Dave. Well I went into Preston and saw my BMW Indy this afternoon and he immediately declared that the groan at both commencement and completion of the cycle to be the motor or motors that control the 'latching and unlatching of the hooks that secure the front of the convertible hood. I will get a 'fix it' date tomorrow when I ring him after lunch. He suggested that the moving parts within the motor/motors expand and contract with the heat and that they need stripping and lubricating and then they will work again as intended and without the very very audible groan from each of them.
