Your Bimmer must be an early one. I thought BMW changed most of their soft tops to hardtop convertibles around 2006-2007 thus solving that problem?

No sure of the general problem (if your driving along they keep up with your car?) but if flys are splatting on to your window screen

Can i suggest you remove anything sweet/sticky, or spills from the car. We just sold our Z4, so can i suggest you check in the hood, behind the seats if you see a white powder, you clean up inside the roof. Also seals in the front lights might be about perished (approx £109 each). The centre console drink holder my also becoming brittle.
But as for unwelcome nasties inside the car, can i suggest you clean the leather/cloth with clean warm water, with a hint of lemon in it. Make sure if you have cloth trim you test your cleaning fluid mixture on the boot carpet load area, to see if it affects the colour fastness.
Karcher Puzzi is the model i'd recommend ( as i own one of these myself) but others are available, but they are good for cleaning the carpets and seats to a professional standard. If you have a steam cleaner, put that over the seats to neutralise anything bacterial.
So wash, hoover, with Lemon and allow to dry naturally. Your bugs will soon go. Pound to a penny it is spilt soda drink, or chewy sugar sweets that are to blame.
Hope it's an M Sport, as they are a lot easier to sell on than the SE!

Oh lemony chemicals won't attract the flies, but it does cut through grease and wipe out stinky smells.
I found a foolproof way of avoiding ruining a Z4, and that is driving my Lexus! I have to say i now love the car, but i should sell it on and get something else.
