No further forward with the roof/screen creak after visit to the dealers. They cleaned the seals.
I had a z4 as a loaner - which did not have the issue. Anyone else any progress ? |

Having said that, I think every vert I've ever owned has had some sort of noise issue when it's cold. At the end of the day, it's not a solid object, it's a bunch of large parts that rest against one another. Just turn up the HK and look forward to getting the top down in the Spring. |

Had had my alarm go off twice today when opening the trunk with the car locked. Both times after about an hour being locked.
Anyone had any luck with the dealer, tried to reproduce it in may garage but no luck. |

Regards the boot opening triggering the alarm I thought it might be a low key battery so replaced that today but it hasn’t resolved it.
One thing I have noticed is that previously if I accidentally put my key in the boot and closed it the boot wouldn’t lock and would beep.... now it doesn’t do it and let’s you shut the boot. Food job is already unlocked the car beforehand. This tells me it’s the relationship between the key and the car not being correctly recognised which was caused by the software update. And I’d also say this is why the comfort follow me home lights and welcome lights no longer come on when approaching a locked car. It’s deffo the cars software that’s caused this. |

For the alarm, it sounds like the issue I had before:
Alarm https://g29.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1629264 My issue was solved after enabling comfort access unlock. Try enabling it if the issue continue. |

They didn't go into a whole lot of detail on what they did - but they did say that it was related to the windshield-area rather than the roof. Something about some soundproofing material being incorrectly installed at the factory. They also sorted the doorcard without having to order in another one, and updated my car's software to the November 2019 version. I'm normally not one to speculate on this given it's normally a placebo effect, but I could swear that my speakers sound better after this update! |

Annoyingly, when playing music off a USB stick the car still fails to continue with the track where it left off on restarting the car. |

I ended up copying whole USB to the internal HDD, seems to work better like that, at least it plays back where the car was shut off and starts playing quicker. Didnt even realize it had internal storage until I was messing around with settings and found the 'import music data' thing for the USB. Not a good option if you change around songs a lot. Frees up the USB port as well, not sure on the storage limits, took around 20GB without complaining. |

AC blower started rattling noticeably at low speeds. Dealer ordered the part and will install next week.

Is anyone having repeat tire issues? I’m 4K miles in and am replacing the passenger rear tire for the 3rd time now - each time a screw or a nail. I drive the same roads as I did with my 4 series, which never had a flat. Are these tires that much softer?

Tension(?) strap issue
Just had her delivered from dealer a week ago, and the fabric tension strap (I think that is what it is) that wraps around a rib and should be connected to the top, is disconnected from the top on one side of the car, and is frayed on the other side. With dealer, so not sure what the cause or result is yet, but initial thought may be a new top, which seems drastic.
Also having issue with my phone automatically connecting (using CarPlay) after I added the wife's phone. Have to manually tell it to connect, now--sure this a searchable issue, but haven't yet. |

Has anyone had any problems with their windows squeaking when going up and down? Both my driver and passenger side windows make a loud squeaking noise, especially when it's wet. I've narrowed the issue down to the glass rubbing against the rubber seal at the very bottom of the window seal. The piece is looking a bit rough - like the surface has been abraded where it rubs against the glass - is everyone else's like this?
Here's a video of the problem: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1p9j4p4xtl..._0504.mov?dl=0 And the rubber bit in question: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3tnc7mgf0u...0506.jpeg?dl=0 |

Assumed it was because of tint rubbing against the rubber instead of glass |

At 645 miles my Z4 has developed a rattle coming from the passenger side door, the front left dash, and a peculiar little chirp about 1 second after I start it that seems to come from the ventilation system. The rattles only happen between 20 and 25 miles per hour. I suspect the passenger side is a door panel. Not sure about the dash or ventilation system. Any ideas?
