Summary of the thread
A 2010 BMW 1 Series with a petrol engine is experiencing issues with a defective soft top and warning lights on the speedometer, including an airbag warning light. The suspected cause is a malfunctioning rollover sensor, but it could also be due to faulty cables or connectors. Suggested solutions include checking the rollover sensor, cables, connectors, relays, and fuses, with a recommendation to take the car to a garage for a thorough inspection.

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!

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.
