So I guess if you really need this pre-programmed raise-the-top-in-the- rain feature, you'll need to forego the other benefits of driving a BMW droptop.

But if some day BMW does implement this "feature" I certainly hope it's an extra cost option and not folded into an increased price.

Sure sure, and "true" convertible owners operate their tops without motors. One man's "feature" is another's "unnecessary cost".
