I drive a 530d SE GT in the UK [Sept 2009 production] and have not had these problems. I would notice mild vibrations and tapping/knocking and that has just not happened.

I have not driven with the panoramic moonroof open at high speeds as I don't like the sound/buffeting anyway. So cannot comment on this.

What I have had at low speed, especially when setting off from cold start, is tranny-slam as if the car is looking for the right gear. Am told this is pretty common on 7 and 8-speed gearboxes.

But the GT is a dream: I cannot believe it is not any more successful. I have had so many people stop me to say it looks 'smart' (in sapphire black, ivory trim). Excellent performance and handling, superb economy for a car that size.

Hope you get down to the bottom of your troubles.
