Keep steady pressure on the unlock button, with the key fob aimed at - and within 10 or 15 feet of - a door. That should do it.

It does work but you have to be almost touching my car to make it happen. Windows etc. roll down from miles away, but the actual roof you seem to have to be within touching distance of the car.
Still, beats my M5 where to boot would open a the slightest press of the key fob from anything up to a kilometre away. I would love to be able to open the roof remotely from quite a distance, so when you're walking across the carpark you can time it so it's just finished as you reach for the door handle. |

This may come along with the comfort access technology that can initially sense the key "on approach" which turns on the lights and when you get even closer start the unlock function. Perhaps BMW figured the top down/up close proximity requirement as a "safety feature". Unfortunately, it is hard to reverse engineer their mindset from the consumer sidelines. |

It's slightly faster with the remote start engine running while trying to open it. Versus straight battery power and no engine.
Also it's "recommended" to never do it on battery power alone unless it's an emergency. Because it will drain your battery without the engine. |
