#1 · Jul 6, 2016 (Edited) Hi, I don't want to replace the motor or fix anything I just want to be able to open and close the roof manually. The motor slowed down and finally broke.

I think it would be good to replace the oil line or was avoided.
The BMW 6 Series Convertible is the ideal ride for those who enjoy open-air driving. The car exudes excellence in styling and luxury. However, it is more than just a pretty face. It's also powerful enough to reach speeds of up to 155 mph. Whether you're driving on the open road or the city streets, the 6 Series Convertible is a joy to drive.
BMW Z4 hard top opening is a show actually. All this metal hard top folds tightly and precisely into the trunk while still leaving a plenty of free room.
Now that the car is here and the weather is nice I decided to pull the red tab in the boot/trunk and use the car until I get time to repair the roof motor. So the tray thing in the boot is down(no obstructions), switch bypassed, red tab pulled and turned so it stays out. Unlatched the roof from button and pushed roof back from the middle.
To open it by hand (manually) pull the cord under the left side of the rear seat (as instructed by e36p) then go in your tool kit under the boot/trunk lid and get the winding handle (shaped like a double ended allen/hex key) , on the front panel of the headlining pop out the blanking plug "emergency use only" or something to that effect and spend an unenjoyable few minuters winding the roof
