So you just need to drive with the sunroof open and you'll be good to go!

Speaking of sunroofs and rain sensors, a friend had a 8 series around 10 years ago, and if you left the sunroof open and the rain sensor sensed rain, it would automatically close the sunroof! Wonder if the E60 works that way. Of course, in the bay area I'll have to wait a long time at this time of year to test it!
