Panoramic Part Number Help (Repair Kit)

[AlfaMale]

The lovely UK main dealers who have a monopoly on the situation want to charge me the princely sum of £1700 for the Panoramic Sunroof cassette, excluding glass and motor in case you wondered but does include a complete new roof lining.

Needless to say I'm not prepared to pay this and the roof will remain broken and closed forever.

However IIRC a helpful forum member on here made reference to a BMW repair kit that's available for the common Panoramic Sunroof failure, does anyone know if this is correct and ideally provide me with a part number for this item???

I would be eternally grateful, as I do not want to give up on this..........

Have you tried a search of the board?

Thank you for the reply, yes of course I have tried the search function hence why I posted! Lots of references to a repair kit but no actual part number.

However a helpful member on the UK forum assisted me, in case anyone else need it:
REPAIR KIT F CEILING FRAME MECHANISM part no. 8231227

The reason I asked is that I spent a few hours meticulously posting all the relevant repairs kits for the E53. Please read this entire thread:
