Hey everyone i could use some help. This is my first post so here goes.
I have a 2001 330i and yesterday i ran over a curb and my roll over system was activated and the bars popped out. Does anyone know how i can reset them my self?

Thank you in advance,

There are detailed instructions in your owner's manual. If you don't have a manual you can download in the Owner's Circle at bmwusa.com

Out of curiosity, was your convertible top open or closed? If it was closed, did the RPS puncture or damage the top, or rear window? I've always wondered what would happen if the system deployed with the top up. Doesn't look like there'd be enough clearance.

I witnessed an accident with an E36 cabrio that had it's top up. The RPS was definitely outlied in the convertible fabric...looked to be a lot of strain pushing from the inside. However the fabric did not look to be torn. Of course those models have a plastic rear window, so nothing was shattered. Not sure if our glass backlights would be so lucky.
