I've got a bunch of windnoise coming through the top of the panoramic sunroof.
When I push up on it, the noise goes away. It's at the service center (2 days now!) and they haven't told me anything yet. Anyhow, I'm trying to figure out if this is a problem, and if there's a known fix for it yet. Thanks, Jed |

Thanks, Jed My wife's 2005 X5 had a similar problem, which mysteriously disappeared after a few dealer trips with "no problem found." Try a search in the forums for "sunroof noise" or similar terms. You should be able to find some of the threads as I've seen reports on here from E60 owners of this problem as well. It appears to be rare, but it does happen. RR |
Funny, since I'm currently a temporary member of the E61 club for the next day or so due to my dealer giving me a 530Xi Touring, I thought I noticed an excessive amount of noise today on my way home from work. I didn't think to push up on the panoramic sunroof but I did think it was open and tried to close it...
If I think of it tomorrow, I'll see if I can duplicate the problem and/or solution. |

I have exactly the symptoms that Rudy commented on above. My car has been at the dealers twice and both times they were unable to correct the problem.
I recently drove an 07 530xiT and it had the same amount of wind noise as my 06. I find it curious that the noise is greatly reduced by pushing up on the glass. Perhaps there is an adjustment required? |

A recent SW update (24 IIRC) apparently provided some adjustment capability in the sun roof according to the shop foreman. He attempted to adjust the panel altbeit with no success.
I will ask the dealer to look at it again when I take in for a winshield replacement in the spring (damn I hate winters around here). |

How exactly does a SW update provide adjustment capability in the sun roof? I can see how this might enable one to adjust the servo motor timing, but I don't see how that is going to affect what appears to be a mechanical misalignment problem.
Kidding aside, I agree that this is an analog problem, not a digital one... |

It's all software these days, isn't it? ;)
