Pan roof problem

Does anyone have problems opening the pan roof if it hasn't been opened for a while? mine seems a bit jammed and needs a push to help it, I'm to scared to force it to much :( once opened is there anything that can be done to lube it up ?

Door pocket ambient lighting

Was bmw the first manufacturer to have it? I'm sure my old e36 had it.

Re: Pan roof repair 2017 F15

My e70 pano roof gets a bit stuck if I haven't used it much, I just help push it back with the palm of my hand whilst pressing the button and it opens fine.

bmw said mine was low oil and charged me for a top up as fluid isn't covered under warranty but it still kept doing it.

Re: Transmission Fault and jumped out of gear on motorway

Mine did the exact same thing and it got to the point where it wouldn't even move without jumping out of gear. I was quoted about £2000 to fix it but eventually got a new gearbox fitted at bmw under warranty/ good will (long story).
