Low battery or perhaps alternator on the way out. The heat could be killing your battery in the boot....

order a new one from BMW... make sure its the high power one (for cabriolets)... and also get the Hyrdraulic fluid changed out. Made a massive difference to my car. Shifts like a DSG and so much smooother.
