Hmm I am yet to own a Vert BMW but WILL one day as I absolutely love them!

If I had something to say on this situation, I would say that; If it didn't come factory, It will most likely be after market. If you can get a kit, it shouldn't be to difficult as the technology behind it is very simple. Tried looking around ebay for kits?

It should be just holding down a button on your key fob,

Thats if the function is installed.

sometimes peope have it disabled though, as it can be annoying if its in your pocket and the button gets held down accidentally and your winows start to unwind... had that before

Yep.......I had the same issue with my Golf, id go off leaving it and then come back to find all of the windows open in the middle of the car park!!! grrrrr. I may have just found my answer to the convertible roof though. There is a little module you can buy from a website called mods4cars. I have just looked on ebay and somebody is selling one for £75. He claims its only a case of moving a few wires and an easy job!!! Meh........Im sure those were the words the same guy used when I spent hours fitting my bluetooth kit!

Try holding the "Unlock" button for 5+ secs, if it doesn't open the roof aswell as windows then u don't have the kit ! ;)

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.

      105C thermostat replacement

      Not sure what engine your running but there should be a Temp sensor in the Hose from the Rad to the water pump then there should be a Temp sensor in the housing for the Thermostat Both are shown in realoem for the 3.5 V8 I thought the V8 was the only one with dual use sensor on the Thermostat housing but stand to be corrected Dave

      105C thermostat replacement

      I have checked realoem and it gives me no temperature sensor option , which is strange. Also what I did was to remove the map thermostat and disconnected the resistance heating that is inside the thermostat and replace it with a 88C from an x5. Nothing else has been changed. The strange thing is that it run like that for 3 weeks in August. When I start the car last week the temperature dial was going to max before dropping to normal value. And that happened only when cold. When warm the dial was showing the right temp. I also saw that the map for the thermostat was engaged when the car was running cold which made me think that there may be a connection between the thermostat dial and the map thermostat not being connected.
