Funny but just Saturday night this happened. Its a late night spot with valet parking. Well around 1am, they stop valeting and anyone can park anywhere. THis guy basically ran to his 645i Convertible at 1:01 am as I was sitting outside. So he reverses his car right in front of the door since valet is gone, trying to parking lot pimp.
He then proceeds to drop the top and well, it didn't drop, it dripped. His top got stuck like 3/4ths and all you see are like 40 pieces of BMW going everywhere.
My group is looking at asks "Mike, is it supposed to do that"? And I'm like "Yes, it has German electronics".

No. That doesn't look like the correct angle for downforce. In fact, it looks just the opposite.
Not to insult any BMW owners here (like the car in the picture), but just leave it to German manufacturers to get the electronics messed up. VW, Audi, BMW, and Mercedes are well-known for electrical problems. While there are a number of things that could have caused the top cover to stick like that, the most likely is a bad electrical relay.

Wonder what's the story behind it though.
