Do all e92's come with sunroof?

jkalex05 · 06-21-2007, 09:41 PM

Stupid question, but is it possible to get the 335i without the sunroof? I'll probably regret it later but I want the saved weight.

I don't think you have a choice. I went to the dealer today to order one and they said no. It comes built that way.

There is no delete option in the US like in Europe unfortunately, we have the sunroof forced upon us. I can count the number of times I've had it open on one hand.

I've been working hard on my melanomas with mine. There is plenty of headroom, so I have no regrets. But I would trade it for the cf roof on the M3 in a snap.

Even if you could delete it, it would be a mistake to do so. It would kill the re-sale

Maybe we don't want to sell the car but keep it for a winter beater?

Heh, ive heard of the value of an e46 M3 going up to modders because it had no sunroof.

You don't like it? Since, for the most part, convertibles aren't very practical, it gives you a small portion of the sky.

I've always had one, and just think they are very nice.

lots of people are leasing theri vehicles these days ... in that case who cares about re-sale if you are going to return it back.

You could move to Canada. The spec there does not include a sun roof

wrong... stock e92 335 here comes with sunroof/power-memory seats/xenons/ipod integraded/heated seats

DFW_M · 06-23-2007, 02:42 AM

WOW...to save weight...how much...like 20 lbs???
I'd rather save some $$$ by having the option to delete it.

jkalex05 · 06-23-2007, 03:17 AM

I think without the sunroof you would save more around 80lbs if you remove the whole sunroof fixture.

STE92VE · 06-23-2007, 08:45 AM

Please correct your references....we have a moonroof on our cars, not a sunroof.

Thank you, we now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

A sunroof is an opening in an automobile roof. Sunroofs may be either fixed or operable.

Historically, sunroofs have been opaque and open to the air to allow the sun to shine directly into the vehicle, while moonroofs have generally been transparent or semi-transparent and designed to remain closed while allowing muted light to penetrate the vehicle.

Variations have become the norm and often combine the features of the Sun and Moon types into a single device. It is not uncommon to see tinted glass that can retract fully like a traditional sun roof, remain closed like a traditional moon roof, or tilt to allow for airflow.

Modern implementations often include a sliding shade that usually matches the internal roof upholstery and provides a way of essentially hiding the sun/moon roof behind it. The American Sunroof Company is often credited for creating the modern moonroof.

Sunroofs can be manual or electric. Manual sunroofs are usually flipped up to create a small opening around the edges, or are removed completely. Electric sunroofs either flip up and slide back on top of the roof, or down and into the roof. An electric sunroof will have the facility to be closed manually if the motor or control circuitry fails.

moonroofs shatter on the freeway since they're glass

sunroofs are metal and can't shatter
