Problems with BMW 1 Series petrol engine from 2010: Defective soft top and warning lights in the speedometer

Airbag warning light

Convertible top cannot be opened or closed

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Hey guys, I need your advice. My BMW 1 Series petrol engine from 2010 is acting up. The soft top won't open or close, a warning light comes on in the speedometer and the airbag warning light is also on. I have a suspicion that the rollover sensor could be going haywire. Has anyone ever had similar problems and can give me some tips? I'm particularly interested to hear what the garage did and what your experiences were. Many thanks for your help!

Hi, I had a similar problem with my 2012 BMW 2 series. Can't say I have a lot of car knowledge, but I've picked up a few things from it. I then took my car to a garage. They found that the plug and cable were faulty. The repair cost me 155 euros. Could you perhaps give me the exact model number and other specifications of your vehicle? I could then go into more detail and try to help you further.

Hey, thanks for the answer! Yes, sure, I can give you that. So it's a 2010 BMW 1 Series with a gasoline engine and has now done 80431 km. It recently had its last service. I'm curious to see if you have a more specific guess as to what might be broken. Many thanks in advance!

Hey, thanks for the additional information. So basically it could be due to several things, but would also guess the rollover sensor you mentioned. The problem could also be due to a damaged cable or connector like I had. That would explain the warning lights in your dashboard. However, with over 80000 km, it would also be time to have a look at the relays and fuses. Sometimes these can wear out over time and need to be replaced. If it really is the rollover sensor, I can tell you that the repair won't cost a fortune. At least it did for me. But as I said, you should definitely take the car to a garage. Hopefully I've been able to help you and it's nothing too bad. Keep us up to date!

Hey, thanks for the detailed info. I think you might be right. I'll probably take my car to the garage then and have exactly what you recommended checked. Your input definitely reassures me a bit. When I know more, I'll let you know. Thanks again!
