I have a 2017 430i Convertible. Has less than 14K miles so the top is not heavily used what so ever. Sometime sits parked for 1-2 weeks without use past 1 year due to working from home due to covid.

One morning recently after no unusual event or circumstances, the convertible hardtop stopped opening ONLY via the inside Hardtop center console button. Pressing the button down still opens all four power windows, but once the windows are fully down, the hardtop fails to start opening as it always has for 4 years. There is no motor noise or other mechanical sounds of the top even attempting to open. Just nothing once the power windows finish opening all the way so the button is not 'dead' since the windows respond as expected with opening/closing. I have used the button many times over 4 years so not operator error. I have checked all the obvious like making sure the cargo area partition is fully closed.

However, the strange thing is the hardtop opens and closes as normal from outside the vehicle using the remote keyfob.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Jim
