M5 Competition Sunroof

I'm trying to pull the trigger and get a M5 Comp. I know that they have a sunroof option, but is the sunroof option rare?

Not sure how rare it is in the "normal" world. In the "forum" world it appears more have gone the CF Roof route than sunroof; went the CF route on my M5C.

You think there would be some at dealers in the U.S. if so I would have my dealer do a dealer locate

Seems only about 60 out of 300 M5 and M5C's have sunroofs nation wide, per cars.com at last check.
I much prefer a sunroof too,which is in the minority on here

Yes, all cars delivered at the BMW Welt in Munich are ordered cars.

I miss my sunroof. Carbon roof looks great tho. Was definitely a hard decision. If I went with a
darker color I would've definitely got the sunroof option.

I think it is only a moon roof and not a sun roof so it doesn't open/slide

I ordered my M5C without the sunroof. The CF roof is the whole point of the competition series, lower center of gravity and performance.

Thanks for the numbers. You said this is for the f90. I’m guessing all years? Do you have a breakdown by year?

I have always selected the sunroof option in all my cars. Had my last car for 4.5 years and I think I opened it less than 5 times. Chose the cr roof on this one. We’ll see how it goes.

This post is over 3 years old btw. Looks like the OP last logged in a month ago so they might answer but just wanted to point this out. If OP comes back and happens to have access to all kinds of historical information — people would love to know:

- final M5 CS production numbers in total
- how many of the M5 CS ended up in the US

Thanks!😂

FWIW, I absolutely love the additional headroom that comes with not having a sunroof in this car. The interior feels bigger.

I have the sunroof in my 13 2500 Cummins and 18 GLA 45 and I used it once, just to see if it works too on my 17 Ecodiesel I opted out and don't mind it at all

Same here, rarely used the moonroofs in all my previous cars. Went with the CF, seems intrinsic to the Ms. Also depends on where you live. I'm in sunny SoCal I don't see much convertibles these days and when I do, the top is usually up.

It's a moon roof technically because it's glass. Not because it slides. Both sunroofs and moonroofs slide open. Sunroof is historically opaque in nature and when open let's in the sun. Ie body panel.

But noones made a true "sunroof" in quite some time and the terms are interchangeable if not completely swapped as everyone calls it a sunroof to include in dealer brochures
