i've read about it but not gotten a clear idea of what the problem is. i think someone said if your moonroof makes a sound like air is coming through but it is closed then bmw can fix this? mine is doing that and i just noticed it last week. i have 49.3k on the clock so would like to take it in this week and get it fixed under warranty.

thanks for any help!!
