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: BMW X 3 Panoramic sun roof initialization.

hello X3 driver, you can initialize the sunroof by pushing straight up on the button, (the same position that is use for vent). You will need to hold the button for atleast 30 seconds. The cassette should go to vent position, then to close, then to fully open, then back to close. Once the fully closed position has been reached, release the button. that's all there is too it. Glad to see BMW is taking care of it's customers.

I just had the same problem... the rear glass has 2 suports, which you will need to insert a long screw driver in it and force them back manually... It's a pain, but I can get you all the pictures to this procedure...

Pin out diagram for sunroof motor for 2014 denali

I don't have access to specific pin out diagrams for the sunroof motor of a 2014 Denali. However, I can provide some general information that may be helpful.
The wiring for a sunroof motor typically consists of a power wire, a ground wire, and one or more control wires. The power wire supplies voltage to the motor, while the ground wire provides a return path for current. The control wire(s) are used to signal the motor to move the sunroof in a particular direction.
To obtain the specific pin out diagram for the sunroof motor on your 2014 Denali, you may want to consult a wiring diagram for that vehicle. Wiring diagrams can typically be found in the vehicle's service manual or obtained from a reputable automotive repair website. You may also be able to obtain the information from a dealership or auto parts store that specializes in the Denali.
It's important to note that modifying or customizing a vehicle's electrical system can be dangerous and may require specialized knowledge and tools. If you're not comfortable working with automotive electrical systems, it's recommended that you seek assistance from a qualified technician or professional.

2011 BMW 335i xDrive. Worn front control arm bushing. Can I replace just the bushing or do I need to replace control arm too. On just the one side, or do I need to replace both sides?

Technically just the one bushing. But then you need a press to push it out and push the other in. If you are doing it yourself its faster and easier to replace the whole arm. If you are paying, the labor difference should make both options about the same price +-50$.
If one is bad, the other isn't far behind. If you replace only one, the handling will be off because one side is stiffer. Better to replace both at the same time.

My 335i....actually a 2008 warning indicator gone haywire

There is an issue with the rear tail lamp bulb holders. BMW knows about this problem and released an updated part. Basically the bulb is not held tight enough, and occasinally loses contact with the holder. Your car should still be under warranty and any local BMW dealer should have the parts in stock.
