Has anyone managed to get this to work?

It is supposed to close if it detects rain or after 6 hours of being left open. Sometimes I see an error about it on the dash when I open the door to get into the car, which disappears quickly.

Despite being switched on, it does not close after 6 hours. I am not brave enough to see if rain triggers it.

Where do you see it being 'switched on' I can test the 6hr delay

[TSMC55]

Settings-> Doors/Vehilce access-> Automatic roof closing (It should be the final option on thr scroll menu).

I think it has to be fully open as opposed to the tilt position and then after 6 hours it closes to the tilt position or sooner if there is rain.

Thanks.

I've never seen this feature on a US BMW nor in a manual either.

Maybe it's an AU thing... they have all those critters that want to climb in the car to kill you there. They should make it available here in the US for Florida at least. 🤣

I've got the option on mine (UK)

Same here in SK . I have it in mine X5 . Unfortunatelly , I come to know, when it starts to say everytime I enter my car "Rain closure not possible ". It is not possible to even manually operate sunroof . After one week !!!! My car is one week old ( actually few weeks more , whet it spends 6 week on boat from US, and then somewhere in EU ) and 300km !!!!!!!!!!

You could test the rain function using a spray bottle aimed at the top of the windshield, as that's where the rain sensor is. You won't risk any going in the car that way.

My dealer fixed issue with sunroof. I've been told , yhey just reset car ?!. No hw changes, no sw changes. It happen one more time for me, after few days , but justbfor few minutes . It is working fine for 3 months now.

Thanks for the update. Mine still does not work and now it jams when opening. I do not really use it as it is so hot where I live and opening it means basically cooking yourself. However something for them to look at next service.

I don't recollect seeing this setting, will check again, which software version are you on?

I have the option. But it is "close sunroof to TILT". And I did forget to close the sunroof once, it was completely open. When I checked it , it was tilted. So minimal rain in the car..

Man, you guys are lucky you have that option. There's a few times I had it tilted, and closed it just in time for the rain. I wish the CD app would allow you to open/close all windows. The capabilities are all there, yet BMW neuters their options from country to country. I get that there's "regulations" in these various regions, but COME ON!

03.2020.24 or .27 I think. The option is in the doors setting. As said above it closes it to the tilt position, rather than fully closed. Thanks.

Thanks! I could find it in settings. Yes it doesn't close completely and as per setting text that's how it should be.

Yep. However mine does not close at all.... and now it does not slide back without jamming. All I can do is use the pop up. It will give the dealer something to do next service...

Did you try resetting iDrive and see if that makes any difference?

Yes. also there is a special reset for the sunroof. you have to push in the button for 15 secs or something. I have done them all. No luck. I am not worried though as it is way too hot to open the thing. I just use the roof tilt when in car parks to let some hot air out. all good.

Anyone coded this into theirs?
