The liner on the sunroof tore while it was being retracted. This is, from what I can gather, a common issue, and an expensive one to repair. The quote was around $3500. I am going to try to see if I can get my (aftermarket) warranty to repair, but I suspect I'll just leave it otherwise. The repair requires replacement, and it looks like it's something that is likely to fail again if it's replaced.

The panoramic shade ripped when I retracted it! The Blue-tooth microphone was damaged and/or not hooked back up post sun shade repair. Fuel Tank Vent sensor lit the check engine light. The dealer checked it and said because the car was from AZ it wasn't used to the cold and flagged the sensor they did a reset.

Fuel Tank Vent sensor lit the check engine light again. This time the dealer replaced the sensor. 
Dec 2013

Fuel Tank Vent sensor lit the check engine light again. This time the dealer said they had overtighted the clamps holding the wire harness and shorted out the sensor causing the check engine light on. BMW uses dynamic stabilization to balance their vehichles. I got a Level FAILURE message on the dashboard and the car requested to call out to BMW service. They called me and got the car in quickly. Turns out a realy got wet...
