@@Hayabusa240z My BMW mechanic says it'll be about $2,500. Two separate BMW Service Dept. quoted me $4,500 and $8000. The part is around $500. I'll attempt it myself ; )
Thanks for the detailed video. If you want it done right, I suppose some pain must be endured to take it all off. I guess laying down some towels so thing dont get scratched up is probably a good idea too.
Since details are needed regarding the equipment of the car, I advised the client to purchase the part from the ro BMW representative and I understood that the price is approximately 500 euros
Thanks for the guide! I followed this on an install today but the new shade sits around 1cm from the front of the sunroof when closed leaving a small gap near the drivers seat. I followed all the instructions as per the guide. Is there a way to move it forward by about 1cm so it doesn't have a gap?
This just happened to my car - at this stage I don’t feel it’s worth repairing, can you advise on those copper strips and whether they can be just simply removed with the sunshade material cut out?
Those bands are not copper, they are made of spring steel similar to that of old mechanical watches, you cannot cut them easily and if they expand it is even worse.
@@JHAMS-007-car-repair do you have any advice on how to remove the shade itself? Could I simply slice the material out and just leave the faulty mechanism in place?
I got quotes from 2 different BMW service departments. The first said around $8k USD. The other said around $4k USD. My independent BMW mechanic quoted about $2,500. The sunshade part itself is around $500 USD so I'll probably take an afternoon and attempt it myself ; )
This just happened to my car for the second time. 1st time under warranty. BMW paid the repair. It broke again. Unacceptable. They warned me of the tremendous amount of work to get it fixed. This repair now it's on me. Other things broke down. Gps screen, twice. Suspension balloons and compressor.. This car is a piece of crap. BMW has lost a customer..
