I was talking to someone who had some stereo work done to his 99 M3 cabrio (E36). The shop can't figure out what they did to disable the top. There's a flashing light on the power top switch so hopefully there's a specific fault code. He's digging in for a battle with the shop to pay for an independent to sort it out. It'll either be something all stereo shops do wrong or 20 hours of diagnosis
Thanks,
