: I'm not an expert on technical matters, but 'Träger' in German are usually carrying elements, so I suspect this is more likely to be 'supports' or some such

On second thought...
it may be the "soft top compartment" into which the convertible top stows itself when it's down

"softtop vehicle"
Judging by my my Collins German Dictionary
"Traeger (Mittel) vehicle".

A car is meant here, I guess. It should be BMW \"softtop car/ vehicle\".
Good luck!

A "car" is a "vehicle" anyway, isn't it?

convertible (car) capable of being fitted with a softtop
could it not just be any convertible (BMW 3 series) car capable of being fitted with a softtop?
I.e. that the car itself is the Träger.
