I have not, but I'm going to shortly.
In further research I've uncovered that is seems to be the rear panel venting that causes the issues. I've also uncovered a tutorial to dremel off a section of the assembly that catches the rear sunroof, to pull it open, which effectively disables the rear sunroof vent. Truthfully, I believe the rear vent makes a lot of unnecessary noise, and was never sure why it worked that way in the first place. I think I'm going to take a peak at that part of the assembly, and see if I can clean it up/ relube it with some silicone grease. Maybe it'll smooth out before any permanent modification need to be made.
Another thing I've uncovered, the e53 X5's and the e61's have a SWEET vent setup. The rear glass slide back a bit, and uncovers a mesh opening under the front glass's tilt up location. Boy, I wish I had that instead of the e70's front crack for venting. Stupid sun lines up with the front crack every single day on my commute home, so I close the sunroof and live without the vent in order for my retina to not get beamed with sunlight.
