The headliner of my panoramic roof has come undone causing my driving view to become obstructed. I reached out to BMW USA who said that it will have to be replaced and will cost $3,118.95 to replace it. I feel as though this should be on the recall list as I am not the only person who has had an issue with the headliner coming undone.
The sunroof shade in my vehicle had been sagging on the passenger side and when I retracted it, it bunched up and is now off track and stuck in position. I currently have my vehicle at a BMW service center for them to take a look at it. In terms of safety, I am unsure that it is a safety concern but it sure is an inconvenience.
The shade that covers the sunroof ripped and was hanging down covering the rear window. This happened while I was driving, so I looked in the rearview mirror and all of a sudden couldn't see anything. BMW says that this is not covered by warranty because it is cosmetic, but it seems like a safety issue to me. I know I am not the only one who has had this issue, which is why I am reporting it. Thank you
Without warning, the sunshade came loose on one side. Apparently it is a very common problem and repairs can be upwards of $2500. This has the potential to be very dangerous if the shade comes completely loose or detached. It can be seen hanging down when looking in the rear view mirror and obstructs the view. The problem needs to be addressed.
The sliding sun visor on the panoramic sunroof has become detached from its frame on the passenger side. The sliding visor material now droops into cabin with possible obstruction of visibility to outside areas.
Yesterday (April 18, 2021), while I was exiting the expressway to the town of silverthorne, Colorado, the sunroof glass of my BMW X1 spontaneously shattered into my head and my wife's and of course all over the car. I was travelling about 50mph and slowing down to the exit ramp; there was no vehicle ahead of us. My wife and I sustained some small cuts and I feel like there is a sensation of a foreign object in my eyes that seems to go away and back again. No other injuries beyond that.
While driving I opened my sunroof shade cover and heard a crackling noise turned around and it was all bundled up. The cover ripped off on one side. The untimely failure of the shade blind left it sagging/hanging and blocking my view as the driver while operating the vehicle.
The panoramic sunshade is sagging on the passenger side. It has come off the track or roller. I've read that this is a very common problem with BMW, S and very expensive to have it repaired.
Sun shade mechanism will not open, causing the sun shade to tear. Seems that sun shade is off the track, or hung and will not allow for closure on this BMW
While driving, I opened the panoramic sunroof shade. One side bunched up and did not retract. After closing, one side of the shade is hanging down partially blocking the view.
The panoramic shade that shades the sunroof from the passengers is dipping down on one side. We have not drawn back this shade much but it has started to sag on right side because the adhesive that keeps it in place is useless. This is a common problem I've heard for the BMW X series.
I went to open my panoramic sunroof shade and it completely came off the track on one side. The vehicle was in park but turned on, as I was getting ready to leave for the day.
I departed my house and got onto the West park toll way. After driving for a few miles, I heard like an explosion. Under panic, I realized that the sunroof had shattered. I was traveling at about 65mph and no one was ahead of me or adjacent to me. There was a pickup truck behind me about safe following distance.
There is a musty sour smell coming from the air conditioning vents. I have replaced the cabin air filter and just serviced the whole ac system to no avail. Odor happens when vehicle is first started and goes away after approximately 5-8 minutes.
