Your sunroof has to be reset which is something you can do and takes 5 seconds. Press the button and let it recylce through opening / tilt / closing and it will correct the problem. Mine did the same thing when i had my car detailed the guy didnt know what he was doing and held the sunroof button to long to close it so it kept reopening to the same position he had it at when cleaning the inside of my car. Its the memory feature the sunroof has if you cant figure it out bmw will do it for you just pull in the bay and tell the service guy / girl you held the button to long and programed your roof to open half way he or she will reset it at no charge. There might be something in the owners manual to about it.
