For those who have it in their F11, how good is the panoramic roof? Do you hear a lot of wind noise at normal highway speeds (120-150 km/h) with the blind open? Any big problems associated with it?

I am seriously considering it despite being an expensive option. I will go for the black Dakota leather, black roof and the standard M package interior trim, so I was thinking that the panoramic glass roof will compensate what would otherwise be a too dark interior.

I have the panorama sunroof and would make the choice again. Brings a lot of light into the coupe and can't say it's noisy, the car is still extremely quiet. Go for it!

Rhinosaur, I have the panoramic roof on my F11 and I partly agree with RobF11. The roof generates plenty of nice light, but on the highway I think it generates a bit of extra noise if the blind is open. Despite this minor drawback I would say it is a "must-have"!

If they do decide to bring it, I will sell my F10 immediately and order one. So much win!

(I previously owned a V70R so I'm a bit of a wagon nut, LOL).

I test drove a 535d F11 today and couldn't notice any special downside of the panoramic glass-roof. The car is super silent, stable and comfortable even at very high speeds (reached 200 km/h but was afraid to keep pressing on since the car had summer tires)!

Maybe there is a problem with my car then, I thought that with the blind open at Highway speed, 120-130 km/h (not Autobahn...) there was a bit of extra noise. Anyway, I love the light the glass-roof gives you as I have the Anthracite roof lining. One of the best options IMO
