The sunroof was opened this morning and wouldn't close up.
SOURCE: BMW X 3 Panoramic sun roof initialization.
title says X5, but description says X3. i'll explain for an X5, but X3 with the pano should be the same. and i'll explain function of the roof, not reprogramming.
button is located on the panel at the top near the front & center windshield. its the switch on the far left on this panel. its a switch that not only toggles, but also slides forward & back.
with your finger in front of the button, slide it back & release. this will make the cover slide back and store revealing the sun roof. you know have 2 options (tilt the sunroof up or open the roof completely).
to tilt it up, press up on the rear of the button and release. the rear of both roofs will pop up. to close, push up and release the front of the button or slide the switch forward.
to slide it open completely, repeat what you did to open the protective cover (slide the switch from front to back). the roof will open completely and stow out of the way. to close, slide the switch forward and release. pano roof will now close.
to close the cover, slide the switch forward again.
neat trick: if you want to tilt the sunroof open without opening the protective cover, press up on the rear of the button (when the cover is closed) and release. the cover will separate in the middle exposing about a 2-3 inch mesh, then tilts the sunroof open. to close, push the button forward again.
also, if you are above a certain speed (can't remember what it is off hand) with the sunroof open or tilted, it will close automatically, then perform the neat trick on its own to keep air coming in.
one last trick: if you want to open the windows and sunroof from outside, press & hold the unlock button (forward button on the key) and you will see the windows go down, then the roof will open to vent. releasing the button will stop the motion of the windows & roof.
hope this answered what you were asking.
SOURCE: Sunroof stuck up
Take off the panel with the sunroof button on it there should be a hex wrench in there, there is also a hex fitting, turn this to maually close the sunroof. If the hex wrench is missing you can use any hex wrench that will fit.

Make sure nobody plays with the car key after you lock it because if anybody push the unlocking button on your key remote it will unlock the car and if they push and hold it long enough it will open the windows and sunroof
SOURCE: my sunroof is stuck open on my bmw the electric is
There is no way or closing it manually sorry unless you have various BMW tools. The problem sounds like the electric motor went out on it. Its located right above where all your interior lights are. Pop the cover of for the lights and try tapping on the motor while your trying to close it with a small hammer lightly to see if you can get it close. Another thing that happens alot on the E 36 is that the plastic aliging pins on the rails will brake over time with use and than this will cause the sun roof to get stuck open or partially close. This will be the case if you ever heard a loud snap.

I would look in the owner manual first for the answer,then go to the dealership.... you are still under warranty.
