Question Moonroof: Anyone experience any issues?

Took delivery of my X3 yesterday. This is my 5th BMW and the 3rd with the Panorama Moonroof (E91 and E70) so I'm very familiar with it. Yesterday I vented the roof (tilt position) and when I tried to close it later, it would not close. It started down, and then abruptly reversed and stayed open.

Had this once with my sunroof in one of my BMW's (forget which) and had to clear some debris that had blown into the track, but when I checked it was as clean as the day it was built (less than a week ago).

So, I figure this must be related to the pinch protection "feature". After about a dozen tries off and on, it finally closed. Now I'm paranoid to open it again.

I also noticed that only the front glass panel tilted open. In the X5 and our previous E91 both glass panels tilt open... has BMW changed this for the X3 moonroof or do I have a function of the mal variety? Owner's manual doesn't specify...
