Sunroof not working right

Tilt up feature not working & I have to hold the switch for the roof to slide instead of getting the typical one press action. Anyone experienced this? I tried the reset procedure from youtube but it stops partway through the sequence and doesn't end up doing anything.

Edit: Just realized this is in the wrong section. My bad.

Writing "i tried the reset procedure from youtube" means absolutely nothing to those of us reading your post that have not seen the video (without you telling us what you saw in the video or each step you did in your attempt to reset).

Was this the same model BMW you have? How old of a video was it? Did the video apply to your model year? We have no way of knowing if we didn't watch the same video. .

There are instructions in your owners manual on how to reset the sunroof after a loss of power or other malfunction. One of the specifics that may be missed/overlooked on some models is...THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE RUNNING. Was it?

My f06 requires the engine running...my e53 does not:

{f06 instructions/owners manual}




{e53 instructions/BMW TIS}
