My E61 had the water problems so I can empathise & sympathise. Removing the drain hose bungs along with the occasional flushing with a bottle of water from the top has kept the prob at bay. Touch wood. If it recurs i would consider completely sealing the edges of the sunroof & disabling the motor or switch. A non-opening glass roof is good enough considering the other merits of the car. And add to that the cost savings of not replacing or 'up'grading it. Errmmm 'up'?

Two very fine looking machines, but the 5 is not available in NA and neither offer a MT.
