BMW e60 5 Series Sun Roof Malfunction
If your BMW e60 5 series has a sun roof malfunction, we can help! Bavarian RennSport specializes in affordable BMW service in Jacksonville, FL.
One of the best selling luxury cars in America from 2004 to 2010 was the BMW e60 5 series. Their success is attributed to being known for high-performance, superior handling, cutting edge technology, and they have the most beautiful interiors of all the luxury vehicles on the market. One popular option in the e60 5 series BMW was the sun roof. A common problem in the e60 5 series is for some of the sun roof seals to fail.
In the winter, drivers will complain about the interior of their e60’s having a “draft.” Even when all of the windows are rolled up and the sunroof is completed closed, they feel a cool breeze in the interior. This is from a misaligned or faulty sunroof seal. When this happens, a thin stream of air is allowed to enter the vehicle. In mild temperatures, you might not notice the issue, but in extreme winter climates, this issue will be uncomfortable and quite annoying.
Sometimes, drivers will also complain about a “whistling” coming from the sunroof seal when they travel at higher speeds. It doesn’t happen to all sunroofs but it has been reported by many e60 5 series BMW owners, some with high-mileage vehicles and some as soon as the first month of owning the car. When the whistling is combined with a cool draft, it can be very annoying for the driver, but that’s not the only reason you should fix it. When a sunroof seal is neglected, it could get much worse, allowing liquid or rain to enter the interior of the vehicle.
You can find some DIY solutions on the Internet, however, we do not recommend trying to solve a sunroof malfunction yourself, because you could accidentally damage the interior of your BMW and incur more expenses. Moreover, the malfunction could be covered by your warranty. Contact our local BMW service shop to properly fix the sunroof seal.
