    After the air conditioning has "quit" me just in time before my summer vacation and after checking in the air conditioning workshop it was clear that it is the evaporator, which must be new (sits in the air conditioning box, for which the entire (!) Dashboard must be removed, was now certain - I must fix at least NOW my also since purchase identically sticking panoramic roof. For the climate calls my workshop around the 2,500 euros - that must wait. Panorama roof repair would also be around the 900-1,200 euros in the best case, a new complete cassette would cost around the 3,000 euros. YOUR video practically saves me the vacation, especially since it seems as if the whole thing would be within an hour (?) already clarified?! I could "kiss" you, my unknown friend! Best E61 fix ever!

    I know it is an old post but it recently helped me a lot and i want to share an advice. The video is great and comprehensive but i think it should be mentioned that is important to bring the front panel all the way down first, either manualy with the hex key or by short presses on the button. If you don't bring the panel down first, the mechanism in the back will be locked and won't move.

    I found it difficult to open around the switches for access to panel so instead I tapped the close button little by little as I pushed the mechanisms back as far as it would let me...tapped some more for the main roof to close then finally everything closed. It opened on the first couple tries until I got really patient tapping the close button and doing the pushing on the back mechanisms for smaller window closure. I only had a screwdriver at the time. Went well. Thanks a million.

    Thank you very much Sir! For decades I'm a 5-series guy. I was going to switch to an X3 or X5 because I liked the panoramic moonroof. Having watched your video in my research for my next wheels, I now realized the double-panel feature is trouble prone. Yes, I'm handy and mechanically inclined; but I've also become lazy in my pre-retirement years and just don't wanna deal with it to begin with. I think I should stick with single-panel deals.
