My Ride: The Black Sapphire...
Hi,
When I'am driving on rough roads or hit bumps I hear a noise from my sunroof hearing like two metal tubs hit each other.
Any solution to this?
Thanks

Does it happens when the sunroof is in the lift-up position (Not sure if that is the right term) or rolled back?

It's probably the metal wind deflector that pops up when the roof slides back. When the roof is closed, the deflector is in the "down" position, but has a tendancy to rattle against the metal frame of the glass.
Open the roof and you'll see the deflector pop up.

Hope the third time will give results for him... I'll check in with my BMW dealer, when the easter holidays is over..

Mine rattles occasionally when closed or when in the Up position. I think mine just needs some lubrication on it's hinges (as if it isn't returning all the way "home") as I can seem to press down on the deflector which stops the rattle.

You might wanna bring it to the dealer. all I know there will be wind noise when you open the cover of the sun roof, because
e60 does not have rubber thing around the sun roof.
Good Luck.

I've got a similar problem, but the problem is sporadic (seems to happen when the weather gets warmer). When the sunroof is closed and the sunshade is open, the sound occurs. When you hear the sound, if you tap up on the sunshade, does it make the noise? If so, then it has something to do with the sunshade in back hitting a piece of plastic/metal. I tried to have my dealer listen for it, but he couldn't reproduce it during his test drive.
