I don't really have anything to compare mine to, so it would be great if someone could make a quick video. Mine isn't too loud, but I have no idea what normal is, so I am kind of wondering... Opening it makes almost a grinding sound, closign it is very quiet, just an electric noise, like the windows. __________________ Silver 98 318ti Standard trans, Sport Package: 16" Stock Wheels, Foglamps, Sunroof, Heated Leather Seats, Bilstein performance shocks, OEM Sach's clutch kit, Dunlop SP Sport A2 225/50/16 tires, Alpine CDA 7894, Dual Rockford Fosgate 12" subs, Rockford Fosgate Amp, Leather Armrest, Replaced M44 engine with only 40k on it! http://www.geocities.com/evalha/bmwsmaller.JPG | | | 05-01-2006, 02:49 PM | #2 | Member Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Calgary, Alberta Posts: 89 | Grinding? Mine is quiet in both directions. My guess is that grinding is bad. | | | 05-01-2006, 04:42 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Saint Paul, MN Posts: 3,244 | I would guess as loud as a window opening, but I have the cali roof so a little different. __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | 05-01-2006, 09:53 PM | #4 | TRETEN IRGENDEINES ESELS Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Rhode Island Posts: 3,687 | I'd try cleaning the track if i were you,there is probally sand/dirt in there causing the grinding noise. Mine is quiet both ways & come to thik of it on bavauto.com they sell a lubricant for the sunroof. It comes in a little syringe for an easier application. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active clear outs all around,stealth turning signals,blue led interior lights, 35% tinted windows,K&N air filter, 12" Kenwood Sub, MTX Thunder Amp,Alpine cd changer, Leatherz Armrest,ACS Pedals/Handbrake/FloorMats & Vitesse Tuning Carbon Fiber B-Pillars/CF Spark Plug Cover, New 16" MSW Typer 14 Rims on Goodyear Triple Treds www.myspace.com/avusblueti | | | 05-02-2006, 04:21 AM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Mar 2006 Posts: 29 | i see the same thing over here... 98 ti... my sunroof make noise MORE then a window opening hell yeah!!! | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
