Glass roof
When I had a Mercedes c couple some years ago it had a similar glass roof to the x3. After a year or two it started squeaking and creaking and got really annoying.
Are there any issues like that with the X3? All my other bmws had a normal roof and a no issues like that with the standard opening. |

the issue usually is panoramic roof which is pretty long and wide. I believe the 2 series is much smaller so could be more reliable. Hope BMW has improved in the G01, too early to tell, would get one in a heart beat if i was guaranteed no creaks and squeaks.

I have a panoramic roof in my 4 year old 335 GT. It has started to squeak. I too hope that the G01 solves this with some of the new composite materials that were promised.

My 2015 X3 panoramic squeaked almost from the beginning. It stopped squeaking when the cover was closed, so that's how I kept it the majority of the time. Squeaks and creaks really bother me. I've kept my G01 roof cover closed as habit.

The sunroof did not squeak in my F25 X3 but I only had that for about 1.5 years. When I ordered my X1 I did not get it. This round for my X3 in the US it's difficult not to get it if you want basic features. I think the only way to get some tech and not the sunroof in the US is to get a 30i M Sport and take the USD 1,200 delete.
