SUBJECT
Retrofitting New Style Hydraulic Top Motor
MODEL
E46 Convertible produced prior to 9/01
SITUATION
E46 Convertibles produced prior to 9/01 had a hydraulic top motor with two solenoid valves, and later production motors have only one solenoid valve. The early style motor (part number 54 34 0 148 392) is no longer available as a replacement part, and the EPC shows that it has been superseded to the late style motor, part number 54 34 7 025 595, which can be used in conjunction with an adapter harness, part number 54 34 7 076 030. Once the new style motor and adapter harness have been installed, the convertible top control module (CVM) must be recoded to recognize the new hardware.
