  • My poor e70 X5m hasn't been getting much use in the last year due to COVID-19. Today when I opened the sunroof, it decided that it wasn't going to close again.
    This can happen for many reasons, but for me it was probably due to the battery going flat from not driving it for a long period.
    Thankfully this is an easy fix, a simple re-intialisation of the sunroof to teach the car where all the limits are and it's back to being good as new.
    To re-initialise:
    1) Open your sunblind so that it's in the fully open position.
    2) Press the sunroof button up and hold it. Keep holding it while the sunroof goes through the full range of motion.
    3) When it's finished your sunroof should be closed with the blind fully closed
    4) Let go of the button and give your arm a rest.
    5) Test to make sure it opens and closes correctly.

      Unfortunately I don't know why this happens, I suspect mine was from a low battery, but. honestly guessing.
      If you ever find out why it happens please let me know, or better still .... tell BMW so they can fix it! 🤣

    Feel like I've been neglecting the X5M while I've been busy with the M5. There's still so much to do to it! It's also just thrown a code for the crankshaft sensor (probably due to lack of use!) which is now on order.
    She'll have to sit on the driveway until the part turns up.
    Now I have two BMW's stuck on the drive !!!!

      +Brandon Love have you got any errors recorded on the car? sounds like you might need to plug a computer in to see what's going on. it might be a faulty switch, or even a faulty module?

    • @RichsRides
      @RichsRides  Před 2 lety

      That's a new one! Has it ever opened?
      Try the reset process and see if it helps, the reset basically tells the car where all the limits are. So you never know it might fix it.
      Good luck.

      @@RichsRides had to do it a few times on an e70 x5 to get it working like it use to, keeping the button held in each time for the entire duration of the cycle, not 10 or 15 sec as other sources will claim.
      Once it completed the first cycle it had to be repeated, that’s where the confusion was for me.
