Top Operation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 BMW Z8, 2002 BMW Z8, 2001 BMW Z8, and 2000 BMW Z8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The convertible top operation is controlled by the Convertible Top Module (CVM III). The control switch is located in the center console, next to the shift handle. During operation the convertible top warning light will be "on". If the top is stopped in mid operation, or if a fault occurs, the warning light will "flash". The top will not operate if there is road speed present. See Fig 1 .
