I have a bmw 328i 1999 my sun roof wont close what can i do to close the sun roof
Theres a way to close it by taking off the panel above that covers the motor and putting a allen wrench into the middle of the motor unit and turning it i think clockwise. If the gears are stripped it wont work...but if its just the motor then manually turning the gear should close it. I figured out which way it needed to be turned to close then put a allen attachment on my cordless drill and made it easier cause it will take awhile
SOURCE: BMW X 3 Panoramic sun roof initialization.
title says X5, but description says X3. i'll explain for an X5, but X3 with the pano should be the same. and i'll explain function of the roof, not reprogramming.
button is located on the panel at the top near the front & center windshield. its the switch on the far left on this panel. its a switch that not only toggles, but also slides forward & back.
with your finger in front of the button, slide it back & release. this will make the cover slide back and store revealing the sun roof. you know have 2 options (tilt the sunroof up or open the roof completely).
to tilt it up, press up on the rear of the button and release. the rear of both roofs will pop up. to close, push up and release the front of the button or slide the switch forward.
to slide it open completely, repeat what you did to open the protective cover (slide the switch from front to back). the roof will open completely and stow out of the way. to close, slide the switch forward and release. pano roof will now close.
to close the cover, slide the switch forward again.
neat trick: if you want to tilt the sunroof open without opening the protective cover, press up on the rear of the button (when the cover is closed) and release. the cover will separate in the middle exposing about a 2-3 inch mesh, then tilts the sunroof open. to close, push the button forward again.
also, if you are above a certain speed (can't remember what it is off hand) with the sunroof open or tilted, it will close automatically, then perform the neat trick on its own to keep air coming in.
one last trick: if you want to open the windows and sunroof from outside, press & hold the unlock button (forward button on the key) and you will see the windows go down, then the roof will open to vent. releasing the button will stop the motion of the windows & roof.
hope this answered what you were asking.

Starter - Removal & Installation
The
starter motor on some models is very difficult to see from the top of
engine compartment as it is covered by the intake manifold. On these
models, without removing the intake manifold, the starter motor must be
removed from underneath the vehicle. Because the starter motor mounting
bolts are not easy to access, a long extension with a universal joint
mounted on a proper sized socket could be used. A three foot
transmission extension is commercially available from tool vendors that
has a 3
/
8
inch drive of the driven end and
1
/
2
inch drive on the drive end. If used with a non-binding impact
universal joint and a proper fitting impact socket, the starter motor
fasteners can be removed from underneath the vehicle.
Once the starter motor fasteners are removed, the
starter motor may have to be moved side-to-side several times to loosen
the dowel pin if it has corroded in place.
NOTE
When the battery is disconnected, the radio code, on-board
computer and clock settings will be lost. The radio code should be
obtained before disconnecting the battery or radio. Once the battery
has been reconnected, the radio will not function unless the code is
keyed in.
