INFORMATION Sunroof Repair Instructions: The panoramic sunroof contains several \"\"mechanism sets\"\" which can be repaired and/or replaced independently in the event of a mechanical failure. When performing such a repair to any of these sets, the TIS/ISTA Repair Instructions (REP) should always be consulted. Due to the complex nature of these repairs, a set of complementary instructions with additional detail, explanation, and photos has been developed. The attached Repair Instructions should always be used in conjunction with the TIS/ISTA REP. Refer to the following repair attachments: Front Glass Mechanism repair E53, E61, E70, E83, E91.pdf Rear Glass Mechanism repair E53, E61, E70, E83, E91.pdf Wind Deflector Mechanism repair E53, E61, E70, E83, E91.pdf Sunshade Mechanism repair E53, E61, E83.pdf Sunshade Mechanism repair E70, E91.pdf All panoramic roofs for the above-listed models are conceptually similar and utilize similar repairs. NOTE: An E83 (X3) sunroof cassette is used for demonstration of the repairs. Some differences may exist between this and other models. The following prerequisite work is required in order to replace the following kits (in addition to removing the cassette from the car and glass from the cassette): Front Glass Mechanism - None. Rear Glass Mechanism - Remove the front glass mechanism. Wind Deflector Mechanism - Remove the front glass mechanism; remove the rear glass mechanism. Sun shades and Shade Mechanism - None Sunroof Mechanical 3D Animation: A 3D animation has been developed in order to clarify how the sunroof mechanism operates, as well as how it is assembled and disassembled. To view this animation, open Interactive Career Pathways (ICP) and select \"\"Replace Front and Rear Glass Panel Mechanic\"\" from the Technical Service Information section of the home page. This animation allows you to: * Operate the mechanism and view from any angle; * Add or remove parts and then cycle the sunroof; * S","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10149603-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2013/MC-10149603-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10149603","components":[{"id":"visibility","name":"Glass, wipers and mirrors","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BMW","model":"325XIT","year_from":2006,"year_to":2006,"match":"base","vehicle_ids":["2006_bmw_325xi"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"328I","year_from":2007,"year_to":2012,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2007_bmw_328i","2008_bmw_328i","2009_bmw_328i","2010_bmw_328i","2011_bmw_328i","2012_bmw_328i"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"328XI","year_from":2007,"year_to":2008,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2007_bmw_328xi","2008_bmw_328xi"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"328XI","year_from":2009,"year_to":2012,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"BMW","model":"530XI","year_from":2006,"year_to":2007,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2006_bmw_530xi","2007_bmw_530xi"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"535I","year_from":2008,"year_to":2010,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2008_bmw_535i","2009_bmw_535i","2010_bmw_535i"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"X3","year_from":2004,"year_to":2010,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2004_bmw_x3","2005_bmw_x3","2006_bmw_x3","2007_bmw_x3","2008_bmw_x3","2009_bmw_x3","2010_bmw_x3"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"X5","year_from":2000,"year_to":2013,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2000_bmw_x5","2001_bmw_x5","2002_bmw_x5","2003_bmw_x5","2004_bmw_x5","2005_bmw_x5","2006_bmw_x5","2007_bmw_x5","2008_bmw_x5","2009_bmw_x5","2010_bmw_x5","2011_bmw_x5","2012_bmw_x5","2013_bmw_x5"]},{"make":"BMW","model":"X5 M","year_from":2010,"year_to":2012,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
