Release in the US from 2004 to 2010, the BMW X3 is a first generation Sport “Activity” Vehicle from BMW. The X3 was part of the BMW 3 series line and is commonly referred to as the e83. This high-performance crossover vehicle has is filled with high tech features and all-wheel drive. Similar to all other technologically advanced luxury vehicles from BMW, there are a few problems that owners regularly discover. One of the common problems is with the sunroof rattling and shaking.
When driving with the sunroof cracked open, many X3 owners of the X3 complain that the sunroof will shake, rattle and knock when they drive over 40 or 45 mph. Most drivers report that when they close the sunroof, the rattling stops.
Sometimes, drivers have found that cracking a side-window can help alleviate the rattling and shaking. Opening a side window helps to reduce the cabin pressure which makes the rattling seem like it is not as evident. Unfortunately, this is a temporary solution and does not always alleviate the problem in your BMW X3. The issue might seem “better” but it is not fixed. For vehicles that are aging or for sunroofs that have had heavy-use it is expected to have issues, however, the issue also happens in X3 sunroofs that are used infrequently.
