He has been doing sunroofs in all makes from Datsun to Rolls since 1975. He works only in his shop (no mobile service), and sounded like he really knew what he was talking about.

It was a tough choice, (even to most BMW dealers the E90 is still pretty new to them) choosing the place familiar with BMWs but not to experianced in sunroofs or choosing the sunroof expert that hasn't worked on the E90 verry much.

I decided to go with the sunroof expert with no out of pocket, I will let you know how it turns out.

What a fing headache, don't ever break your sunroof glass.

I don't see how you will not have to pay any $$$ out of pocket. If you make a clain with ins, you will at least pay the deductible. If your deductible is $500, and the sunroof cost you $900 to fix, you have to fork out $500. Correct me if I am way off the bulleyes here...

I have a zero glass deductable (and yes the sunroof although more expensive then most other glass is still covered under my glass policy). Regardless of the price when you go to a shop that is approved by your insurance company the rates and terms have already been negotiated, so your repair gets done with a guarantee that there will be no gap between what the insurance will pay and what you get billed.

Just got back from having it replaced at the "sunroof specialist". I must say he made quick work of it, doing a very professional job in about 45 minutes. He knew right where the screws were and the trim pieces he needed to remove without even thinking about it (despite never working on a E90 before). Looks like I made the right choice.

Man I am glad to have a roof again, it's 112+ degrees here!!

Good Deal Jesse! Don't forget to thank your insurance company. Try and stay cool in AZ.
