I recently purchased a 2007 530i Touring with a panoramic sunroof. However, the sunroof only tilts. I assumed this was a fault so took it to my local specialist but they say that it's a non-slide sunroof, it just tilts. Did BMW make a panoramic sunroof that doesn't slide for this model? The specialist did no exploratory work, and I can't help but think they're wrong.

It's very odd, as the sunshade also doesn't go all the way back, it stops about half way, meaning the rear half of the sunroof would never be seen. I just can't imagine why BMW would design a sunroof like this - surely it's faulty.

Any assistance very welcome indeed!

Welcome to the Forum

As far as I am aware they should be Tilt and Slide. There were some well documented incidence of them failing over the years and they can be a pain to fix from what I have read. Never done one personally, that may explain your specialists reaction. 

You could use a Vin Decoder to get the original build sheet the item to look for is S402A electric powered roof
