Is anyone aware of a local BMW specialist? I've tried the 2 near me without any joy. I have an E46 convertible and would like to operate the windows and roof from the key. I've had a few options turned on, but they couldn't do this. Because of good old health and bloody safety, it has been removed from the BMW software. Therefore it can only be activated as far as I'm aware by someone using an older version. Any help would be much appreciated.

Not sure where you are based, but I use Bartley's in Southampton to look after my car as do various BMer oweners on here. They are very good. http://www.bartleyuk.com/

Thanks for that. I'm on the other side of Portsmouth. Someone else recommended this garage to me, so I called them. He wasn't sure if he could or not. I've been a bit busy for a drive over there for a maybe. If it was a yes I would've found time.
