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... |
I had a similar issue where I closed and it re-opened like a lift door thinking something was trapped - it was on the slide not the tilt though. I fiddled with the seal and checked for debris and it went away. It hasn't happened since and nearly 3 months of use.
Definitely only the front pane tilts on mine
