Congrats Gizmo,
I love these, And they are quite quick with the 3.0l.
One stupid question I have on these, are they limited in any way at the top?
I remember once (on a closed road far from any people :RedNo I took one up to 235km/h down hill, it didn't go faster and was still a bit off red line.
:ty:

Gizmo said:Sunroof broke. Can't close it. Just came back from dealers and the parts to fix it are going to run me back over R7k, wife and I are pissed off and we cannot afford to fix it right now.
That is not good. Can you not close it manually with the Allen key?
I don't even want to think about what the X5's sunroof would cost to fix if this was to happen. Especially the Panoramic sunroof.

Gizmo I have fixed my own sunroof in my garage with two bolts and a small piece of stainless steel I still have your number will give you a call later night around 7 if that is cool with you. It is bit of a long winded job but it dead simple to fix.
And some silicone spray to make slide nice and smooth again it. Been working fine for almost a year now.

Apparently its a common problem on BMW panoramic sunroofs, the plastic parts go brittle with age and break apart. BMW do sell the parts I need but only in a kit form, cannot buy just the parts I need. Front kit around R3500 and rear kit around R2500 plus the cassette has to be removed, stripped down, replace all the plastic sliders and bits and then re-install the cassette and prey you don't end up with water leaks. Sunroof broke in the vent position, allen key supplied just bends and cannot turn the motor. I have the main glass out until I can fix the damn thing so no more driving it until we can afford to fix it.
