Loud wind noise when then pano roof shade is open.

I just purchased a 2011 X3 and when the pano roof shade is in the closed position there is barely any wind noise. Everything is quiet.

When the pano roof shade is in the open position the wind noise is pretty loud at highway speeds. Much louder than I would expect. Almost like the pano roof is open a little bit, but it is not.

Is this much noise from the pano roof normal? Is there a VERY noticeable difference in wind noise when the pano shade is opened or closed for anyone else?

No, mine has no noise at all when the shade is open. I would take it in to get looked at. Doesn't sound normal to me.

Ditto.

I've never noticed noise with the shade open, and I've been closing the shade in the last few days to cut down on some of the solar heat on 90F+ days. There is no appreciable difference in sound levels between having the shade opened and closed. Time for a dealer visit. Make sure that you reserve a BMW loaner.
