Question for E91 owners: Panorama sunroof

LEDZEP · 05-20-2006, 01:44 PM

When driving the E91 on a breezy day with the sun shade open, but glass roof closed, there seems to be too much wind noise. So much so that I look around to be sure no windows are open.

I've also noticed that if I push lightly on the closed sunroof from outside it will go down - maybe 1/8". There seems to be some play in both panels, which the sedan does not have.

Does anyone else with the panorama sunroof notice this? I plan to ask the dealer to look at it and see if it can be adjusted, but I'm curious if others are experiencing the same thing.

I will check a car we have in stock and let you know.

I just walked 15 feet from my desk and checked. It does have some play in it like you say but I am not sure if yours may have more play.

Just went out and checked my Mar 2006 E91. I too have noted some wind noise when the interior panel is open (silent when closed). Yes, there is about 1/8" play in the front panel.

I've also noticed that driving with sunroof all the way open above 45 mph is very noisy and with rear windows down (independent of sunroof position) feels and sounds like a helicopter.

I used to drive an '04 X3 before I got my 330. It too had that same panoramic sunroof. I hated the wind noise, it really was quite loud. I hated the car too, but thats another story.

So you're a BMW CA? Or are you an SA? It is nice to see some participation from a dealer. I think there is a lot of valuable information we can exchange. Thanks much for checking and replying!

We have a normal sunroof on our X5, and the only noise when the interior panel open is the CONSTANT RAIN THAT WE'VE HAD FOR THE LAST 10 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
