I am familiar with the line drawings on RealOEM, and I have copies of the WDS (wiring) and TIS (repair) e-manuals from BMW, but this drawing is in a completely different style. What extra material does minitis.com have beyond the TIS and WDS? BTW, have you given any thought to 1-touch cabrio functions? The possible operations are roof up, roof down, and all-windows up (all-windows down is already standard). Interesting.

My guess is that where the solid structure touches the roof, the rate of temperature change is slowed due to the mass of the plastic underneath - so the frost forms only where there is no bracing.
