Hi There,
I have just picked up a new to me E83 X3 and the pano roof front panel is stuck up and will not close with the motor. I have managed to close it manually so it is flat however I note i can gently push the glass open so it doesnt seem to be fixed in place. Also the shade will not budge one bit either and is fully retracted into the boot.

I have tried holding the button in for ~2minutes but it seems the motor doesnt want to move and if i keep pushing the button it just opens it and stops.

Help! Cheap new car is not so cheap!

Also had the washer bottle leaking, assume thats a motor which ill have alook into.

With the sun shade open, look at the rear of the sunroof along the left and right side. You'll see a slider and a pin within. That slider and pin gets gummed up with paint delamination and crusty grease. If you clean this out, or use a tool to help slide it when it is stuck, you can get passed the sticky point and latch the roof.
