my top is not working well, it will open and close on most occasions, put new battery in, still having problem, my alternator was at 11.6 volts, could this be problem?, does it need more volts to work properly?

11.6 volts is very low!!

I would assume that if your car while running is at 11.6 volts that your alternator is dead or something is wrong with it.

It should be between just above or below 14 volts while running. My e38 would go in to TRANS FAIL SAFE mode if the voltage was that low.
