I was wondering if you ended up having any success with this project? I just bought a 2005 x5 e53 3L Diesel and the only thing that it's missing is the moonroof. I LOVE the car and don't plan to sell it but would love to do the project. |

It looks like the conclusion was that it cannot be done - short of chopping the entire roof section off and welding on a roof section from a car that WAS fitted with a factory sunroof.
In other words - forget it. *edit* oddly enough, it seems there a quite a number of roof sections available online for a project like this... Which doesn't mean to say this a project that many folk would tackle!

Ha,
I am the opposite. I hate sunroof, it is such a nuisance for repair, water leak. We have 5 vehicles at home (Volvos and BMWs). All had sunroof and I never use it! I like to get rid of the sunroof.

I hardly ever use my moonroof. Recently I opened it after years of non-use and put it in ventilation mode and it got stuck in this mode. I got it to close by running initialization. And then the other day the rear section got stuck in ventilation mode and a repair kit is on order after manually bringing it down. I hear not regularly lubricating it causes these issues, whether it's used or not. And it needs occasional activation for smooth operation. We talk of the cooling system being a major weak point of Bimmers. Add the sunroof to the list.

Amen in to that! I kept mine greased, opened it routinely whether I wanted to or not and mine still stuck... I’d love to say that I would miss my moon roof if I didn’t have it, but... the cost of ownership for a 5th “window” to roll down... can be prohibitive... but I do use it (infrequently,but I do). |
