Sunroof pics

Does anyone have pics of the sunroof from inside and outside the car? Does it have a shutter to COMPLETELY cut out the sun?

I don't have any pics, but closing the shade completely cuts out the sun (it's rather think and just like the regular roof).

anyone?

I can take some later today, but yeah the sliding shade thingy will completely shut out the sun.

It has a full shutter that's hard and covered with the same material as the headliner. When it's closed you'd never know it's there.

yeah photos please. when open fully, does the glass sit outside the car or slide in between the roof and roof lining

Robert · 06-29-2008, 05:53 AM

glass sits inside of the car between lining and the roof.

I dont think BMW has had a sunroof that slides out on top of the roof in the past 20 years mate.:biggrin:
They all slide inside the roof lining.

Kris · 06-29-2008, 07:02 AM

haha glass on the outside! Mate these are modern times - you think they would design a sunroof that leaks light through the cover and then is visible from the outside? Come on!

Must be something strange in the tap water your drinking

The E21 320i (79 - 83) sunroof slid between the roof and roof lining as well, when opened. (It also propped up at the back to act as a vent as a second choice).

No sunroof ever made by BMW ended up outside of the car. You must have been looking at the new Pontiac G6 sunroof that folds up top like a cheap tent trailer.

I'm thinking of crappy Renault sunroofs here in the UK!, not had a BMW sunroof before so didn't know what to expect

The sunroof can be openned with the key fob. Press the button twice and hold, the windows open first, then the sunroof.

Is nice!

Great cheers

Whats the button next to the sunroof switch?

plien69 · 06-29-2008, 08:31 PM

It's not an actual button. It's the display indicator for Passenger Air Bag On/Off.
