Is it just me.....
Hello all!
Is it just me or does anyone else wish that you could buy a high end car without being forced to have a sunroof. I do not like sunroofs, never open them, hate getting the interior of my car dusty if it is open, hate the drone noise, miss the structural intergrity lost with such a big whole in the roof, feel claustrophobic due to lowered ceiling height, have to almost break my neck bending it backwards just to seen out of it and have to pay $1,000 plus when I never wanted it in the first place. Have one on the wife's Lexus. She never opens it either. Do have a Miata when I want that totally open feeling that only a true convertible can give. God Bless all who love their sunroofs but don't force me to have to have one just to enjoy owning a great car. Love my X5 without a sunroof. Had to special order to get and missed out on options that are packaged only with sunroofs - Punishment I guess for not running up the sticker price with the sunroof. Had hoped to get the wife a new 3-series. Guess what? I only comes with the sunroof as of 2007-- aarrgh. In any event I do enjoy this forum. Thanks for listening.

I searched for a while before I purchased my 4.6is WITHOUT sunroof. I just didnt want one, I never used it on any other car I had.

I agree with you about being able to have the freedom of choice of not wanting a regular sunroof. After having had cabrios and now a pano roof on my X5, I'd have to have a gun put against my head to get another car with a standard little "roof-hole".
The good news is that with the excellent way in which the pano roof is designed into the X5, even if you would get one with a pano, you'll likely never face any of the "normal sunroof" drawbacks you mentioned.

I agree that it should be a stand-alone option (as should most options), but I use mine all the time and really enjoy it. I'm also just shy of 5'8" so I'm lucky if I can even touch the ceiling with my hand...

I love mine too! I have it open all year round, even with heat cranking if necessary. I agree though, you should have the option NOT to get one.

I'm just looking at the option list on the pre-facelift and facelift X5's and the sunroof is an option here in the UK/Ireland!!
