Yeah, you need the screwdriver according to the manual (Page 40)


And yes, it's just a fancy allen wrench, I believe 4 mm. But since I suspect that it takes a rather large amount of turns to get the sun roof closed, I would bet that if you ever need it, the "hand crank" shape of the tool will be worth more than $9 to you if you're trying to do it with a normal allen wrench!

It probably costs BMW 50 cents or less to purchase... which is why it is so irritating that they took it out of the tool kit.
