My Ride: 2005 545i - Black on Black, Maple Anthracite. Cold, Premium, Sport, Nav, Heads Up Display, Logic 7, Power Rear Sunshade.
Took my 05 545i in to the dealership to have them fix the excessive road noise coming from my sunroof. The SA first said "well, that's why you have the panel that you can close, so you can get rid of the noise". I told her I didn't think that was the only reason they have that on the car and I have seen it as a known issue on the E60 forum.
They tried adjusting the glass and that didn't work so they replaced the seal, and now it's as quiet as a mouse. This forum is awesome for this type of information. Thank you!

I'm scheduled to take mine in for the same thing next week. Hopefully it will be an easy fix as yours was

Thanks for this post! I'd probably not have even bothered to ask my SA about this, if not for your post!!! Thanks!

I tried this today and my SA told me the CPO warranty will not cover this. He said im looking at several hundred to have them look at it> This is crazy that CPO is useless. anyone know different?
