I just coded the windows and when I close all the windows including sun roof it move to the same position with a slight opening.
has anyone else experienced this issue?

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

thanks

Personally, I would put this in the General coupe discussion. Try holding the button back (for open) and hold for 10 sec after it fully opens and then hold button forward (for close) for 10 sec after it fully closes. Also try holding the "vent" position button for 10 sec when fully closed. I know many e46 guys had this problem and this fixed it (reset the sunroof). If you are into DIY, you can try adjusting the glass by undoing the bolts holding it in place. If not, go to a decent indy shop and they can fix it. Could also be the shade drivers/motors not being properly positioned and letting the sunroof "sag". Our Ford pickup had a similar issue where the sunroof track had eventually gone out of alignment due to shade motor (actually broke off a piece of the track) and we paid to have it fixed at our nearby audio/alarm guys. Cost a lot but not an issue since. If it doesn't leak, maybe don't worry about it? Try pouring some water and see if it does leak. Pics would also help a lot. Good luck!
