I've checked the easy stuff, trunk boot is DOWN, and all associated fuses are good. Is the next step looking for a cracked wire?
Whenever something has come up before the red light blinked, it is steady red now and does not move, makes NO noise.
lil' help? I've tracked down a matching hard top, went to pick it up and because the top wouldn't move, I had to leave it behind.
I think your best solution is to take the car to an indie shop that specializes in bimmers. Try www.bimrs.org. The shop must have all the proper software to diagnose the problem. Narrow your choices down via the better business bureau (www.bbb.org) website, yelp and the website of the local chapter of the BMW Car Club of America (BMWCCA).

Yes, you opened it to check the trunk boot down (the black thing with a lever on it inside the trunk) and closed the trunk but there could be a trunk switch not working.
There have been cases when the wiring to the trunk fatigued and shorted or opened.
