i have this same car 2008 model and i have one of the trim piece missen. will the link provide me with the part that will work/fit for mine? just asking. will appreciate any response

I’ve owned two of these cars. My first was a 2011 328i hardtop convertible. Great car. But after 4 years and 1 minor issue unrelated to the top, I moved on and bought a 2015 428i hardtop convertible. It’s an even better car. And it gets fantastic gas mileage...better than any car it’s size has a right to get. Additionally, that 3 banger is faster than my last one was with it’s straight six. It’s roomier, quieter, faster, and just more comfortable than my 328i ever was. This car hasn’t had a single issue. That’s 8 years of straight BMW hardtop convertible ownership, both originally purchased as Certified Used cars, and in all, there’s been but ONE very minor issue that had nothing to do with the top. The tops on both have been absolutely flawless. Neither has ever failed to operate perfectly. This is one car I would DEFINITELY BUY AGAIN and AGAIN!!! They’ve been better than any other cars I’ve ever owned. Incidentally, I had a tow hitch from “Hidden Hitch” installed on both of these cars. There’s nothing better than a day out on the water with your high powered jet ski except when you get to launch it from the back of your BMW convertible with it’s top down. It makes the fun significantly better. And when I finish riding my ski, I know that the fun isn’t over, because I get to tow it behind my BMW convertible. There’s definitely BMW cars that have a horrible reputation. THIS ISN’T SUCH A CAR. It’s probably one of the all time BEST convertibles out there. And as a hardtop convertible, you get the best of BOTH worlds...A great looking coupe and a great looking convertible all in one package. It’s every bit as quiet as the coupe with it’s top up.

Here are reasons why you should buy a BMW convertible: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a3Z5t6pmhM7Kcqw.html

I’m almost afraid to say this (knock on wood)...back in 2007 I purchased a brand new BMW e93 330D here in Italy, which I still own in 2020 meaning it’s now 13 years old and I drive it every day. It now has 250.000 km..... I take care of it like any other car, run it through automatic car wash, though I have never encountered any of these problems. BMW haters can say whatever they want, they may not like them and I can respect that but I personally still today impressed with the quality of the car. Personally I’m not a German car fanatic... I bought this because I wanted 4 seats, convertible, and a hard top (buy a soft top and then you will see how expensive it is to maintain!) , at that time it was either BMW, or Volvo. I opted for BMW, and 13 years later I don’t regret my choice. I have a coupe, a convertible, and a sports car all in one.

Excellent tutorial on the Cabriolet. Worth noting all the points raised. A big thank you, just purchased the M 4 20i Sports Cabriolet. Will ensure the servicing and hard top is maintained regularly. Very useful video. Thanks

Sweet ride. I saw one for sale that was silver like that, but with a dark red-ish interior. I kick myself for not buying it every time I think about it.

Thank you for the heads up. This is what people should be doing for different cars and not just highlighting what makes the car "good. You are awesome man

I loved this video!!! I thought it was incredibly helpful! Thinking about purchasing a BMW hardtop convertible and this video gave me a lot to think about. So happy I watched this before making a decision, gave me a lot to consider. Would definitely love to see the opposite about why to buy a hardtop!

I appreciate you putting this video together. Quite insightful. Thanks (from a past E38 w/M-sport Fan). Thanks for the video.

Thank you for your channel it's so informative I learn so much from you I am more hands on in maintaining my car than I use to be, and I enjoy it, so much to know and know a hell of a lot more because of you "keep up the good work"

Thanks for the video - something to mention is the drainage holes which can get blocked either due to debris or frozen water. this can result in water flooding the electronics in the boot. They drain out each side of the car in the rear... BMW on older versions will open out the holes to allow for better drainage, the newer cars now have this done in manufactuer. Hoping these comments help. I love my version of this car, and have spent quite sometime touring in it in central europe (prior Covid).

Subbed because you seem to be the only bmw KZreadr that gives real maintenance cost numbers. You keep it so real

Glad to find someone that loves his e93 as much as I do. Great maintenance vídeos! Thank you.

We bought a Mercedes SLC 200 just three months ago and we absolutely love it. Watched this video because I was curious about a hard top convertible with 4 seats - your tips for maintenance are really helpful to me! Gonna check everything tomorrow! Thanks man

I have only owned one convertible in my history and that was a '97 Mustang. I didn't keep it too long but I definitely am glad I don't have the maintenance to go along with it. Thanks Christian for the how to and Negatives about the hardtop convertible. It looks nice. Looking forward to hearing about the project car! Keep up the good work and we'll see you in the next video! Best wishes and Peace out brother!

The previous owner on mine just used silicone to glue the springs and the cover into the hinge. Works fine and in place.

Great job bro. I've always thought of that. Just wasn't sure if i should. Thanks for the heads up. Keep making those videos.

yes, very useful information. but don't use wd40 - it leaves a sticky residue which will attract dust and turn into gunge. my bmw dealership suggested using a silicone lubricant.

I need to do the same soon, it's been 6 months already. Gumi Pflege you can use on all other rubber seals around doors too. Foam tip you can super glue back (mine fallen off too). Best to use some cloth, put it behind hinge before spraying lubricant so it catches all excess, there is a lot of fabric pieces, why stain them.

Your videos are very valuable. Thank you so much for all your information and advice.

Thanks for the honesty

I wonder if you could 3D print some of those replacement parts, like the clips for example. Also, should you also grease the actual motors for the convertible assembly?

Could U not have used a silicone lubricant that is water repellant ? WD40 makes one too or any other brand? The thing is, the WD40 that U used smells & can damage rubber components & possibly stain you roof tops interior fabric.. Put it this way, I know Roofers that use it to remove roof tar from their tools & hands...😬 Also, U can always purchase an aftermarket warranty... EXPENSIVE! Do U feel that the 335is with the 2011 - 2013 will be going up in value ? What can be done to a 335is of those years to spruce up the HP? A chip 🤷🏼‍♂️ or what else ?

Chris fix has very good videos.. Very informative..

My uncle had both an E93 M3 and 335i, respectively. They didn't have any of these problems, but the M3 had the dreaded catastrophic rod bearing failure. The engine was replaced under warranty, but my uncle traded it and got the 335i. Ironically, the 335i was a much better car. He had it for about 5-6 years and all the common problems were repaired under warranty. If you know these cars, these were the turbo wastegates, fuel injectors, high-pressure fuel pump, VANOS, and water pump. Now he has an F10 M5 and an M4 convertible and so far they haven't given him any major issues.
