34100 mi Panoramic sunroof squeaked constantly, dealer I purchased the car from had the contact points lubricated and the problem was solved. BMW dealer wanted $140 plus tax just to look at it.......the non BMW dealer who I purchased the car from fixed it in 20 minutes no charge.

8200 mi Sunroof squeaked badly when cold. Dealer added felt tape and problem is gone.
