Seriously, this thing is knackered
I've recently bought a 2008 E91 with 33k miles, immaculate condition, thankfully its still under warranty as its had :new sunroof seal,(visit one) new battery,(visit 2) new thermostat (visit 3), new front brakes and rotors (visit 3-I'll give them this) and now the sunroof is refusing to close and all of this in 3weeks. Even my dealer is asking if I've gotten a desk as I'm there so much (and also to buy parts - mats and chip paint).
I thought my Range Rover was at the dealers alot but this takes the cake. Don't get me wrong I love the car but this is ridiculous, I will be taking out the extended warranty thats for sure. |

try the sunroof reset procedure. I know it works for sedans and coupes not sure about the wagon with the panoroof. Don't get too down 328i's are good cars, mine has been bulletproof for 50k. Hopefully yours will be good after this
