Manual convertible top
The fabric top offers perfect protection against the weather and it can be opened easily and quickly by one person alone. Here are a few tips so that you get the most out of your BMW:

1. It is advisable to close the convertible top when the vehicle is parked. The closed convertible top not only protects the passenger compartment from unforeseeable damage from the weather, but also provides a certain degree of theft protection
2. In addition, only keep valuables in the locked luggage compartment, even with the convertible top closed
3. When the convertible top is open, the central locking system also locks the release button for the convertible top. The convertible top cannot be operated. This provides better theft protection for valuables stored in the luggage compartment
4. Never mount a roof-mounted luggage racksystem on the convertible top.

Safe seating position

In combi- nation with the safety belts and airbags, the correct seating position also plays an important role in enhancing occupant safety in the event of an accident.
