Has anyone left their hardtop down -accidently- while raining? I did this and when I tried to start the car-I could not!
The rain damaged most of the electrical components-the starter for sure and perhaps many more as they are mostly located under the back seat.

Does anyone have any info on the BMW 335i convertible

Thank-you

BMW roadside assistance indicated that this a common problem

I did that with my last car, a Saab 9-3. It was totaled, I told my insurance it was water damage due to getting caught in flood waters and I was fully reimbursed. Good luck...
