Need help with E88 convertible top not letting trunk open

My 2011 BMW 135i convertible keeps giving an error that the convertible top partition is down and now it won’t let me open the trunk. The car keeps trying to lower the top even when I hold the close button. I can’t access the trunk to lower or raise the partition now. I don’t have the ski bag option in my car so I can’t access the emergency trunk latch from there. Anyone know how to solve this? I do have Bimmerlink and Bimmercode if that helps. Thank you

Santa Monica (fp L, TTArtisan 40mm F2)

Took this a few months ago on my fp L with the TTArtisan F2. Such a great combo. Added some film grain in post, but the lens is sharp and clear when you stop down around f5.

Difficulty removing radiator fan off 135i N55 DCT. Any advice?

Trying to replace the pulleys and belt tensioner on my 135i, but struggling with remove the fan to get access to them. I removed the bolt holding the fan in place and moved the coolant hose and fan cable out the way and try to lift up, but it feels like its jammed up. When i look at the bottom of the fan while pulling up I see some hoses at the bottom trying to come up with it. Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Thanks for any help.

Need help finding this source of coolant leak (2011 135i DCT)

I went to go refill my 135i's coolant since I did a pressure test and didn't find any leaks, and it held 20PSI for 30 minutes. I added some UV dye to G48 coolant help make it easier to find the leaks, and I noticed coolant pooling out around this area. Does anyone happen to know what could be here to cause a coolant leak? Thanks for any help.

Is this the correct for my car? 2011 N55 BMW 135i

I purchased a 2011 135i a few months ago and noticed when driving after about 30-40 minutes the coolant in my expansion tank would go away. I'm wondering if this cap could be the cause as I've done a pressure test before and it held PSI, and the water pump was replaced on my car 1k miles ago. When looking at part number 17117639020, the top of the cap has a yellow piece instead of the rusted metal my cap has. I don't see any white stains on the expansion tank or anywhere else, but someone on one of my posts mentioned it could be the cap.

Thanks for any help.

Losing coolant when driving, anyone experienced this?

Anyone ever experienced losing coolant when driving? My n55 gave a low coolant warning yesterday after 40ish minutes of driving yesterday. The car was sitting for a few weeks beforehand and I checked the coolant before starting and reservoir was still and max. I had to top up the reservoir before it was left sitting and didn’t leak out till yesterday. There wasn’t any white smoke and engine temp was normal so I’m confused on what it could be. Last time I did a pressure test for the coolant lines it was holding psi.

The car did get the valve cover gasket and water pump replaced about 1k miles ago before I bought the car. I’m getting pretty frustrated with these mystery problems but don’t want to give up and sell the car. Thanks for any help.
