I completely agree.

No CF Roof was one thing, but this shows BMW does not care how many M2's sell.

miiipilot · 02-02-2016, 09:25 AM

I just wish it had a moonroof like my E36 M3. I don't care about the glass necessarily.

You actually had a sunroof. A moonroof has the glass.

Verbiage · 02-02-2016, 09:54 AM

Yeah, I was confused by that also. Lol.

Definitely not a moonroof. It tilts open or rolls back, no glass and no sunshade.

I'm going to miss having access to open sky, but if the M2 doesn't come with an oem roof option, that's life.

miiipilot · 02-02-2016, 12:00 PM

I get that confused. lol

miiipilot · 02-02-2016, 12:10 PM

I always get that confused. lol thx

jasonheaddinG · 02-02-2016, 12:32 PM

the only reason I would omit a moonroof would be for a CF roof which we don't get either. I can't stand marketing...

hyperzulu · 02-02-2016, 12:56 PM

Moonroof on my 335is was solid. Moonroof on my M235i is kind of rattly... would not want on the M2.

Verbiage · 02-02-2016, 02:13 PM

Just paint the roof black.

I think it's the cover. The rattle stops if I open slightly the moonroof cover, but sometimes I have to open it to just the right position. The cover itself is noticeably more flimsy/lighter than the one in my 335is. I guess my point is that build quality is lower on the 2 series, so more parts will generally equal more obvious issues with those parts.

NO.. I hate them. I called Lexus and Audi and we can't even get a car in the US without them. This was reason I started looking at BMW products. They gained a customer by not shoving a moonroof on me.

Now if we could only delete the power seats.

I wouldn't want a moonroof on the M2 but you guys that want one should ask your SA to phone BMWNA and ask them if you can do a special order for one.BMW Canada charges $500 for special orders plus the cost of the option.I would assume if it is approved,you would have to pay the $500 special order fee and then add on what it costs for the moonroof option on the M235i.

swilliams · 02-02-2016, 09:18 PM

I'm thrilled about the lack of moonroof. If I want wind in my face I roll the side windows down.

No moonroof = less weight and less things to break (and lighten my wallet).

I would prefer manual seats, as well.

I loved having the sunroof on my E30 M3 when it was a a daily driver. There actually was a highly sought glass moonroof conversion available as well for those that wanted to change over from the sunroof to a moonroof.

Once a car becomes a track car, a moonroof is not preferred of course! The 1M has no moonroof and I love it, however it's not a daily driver for me. After 4 years without a moonroof of any sort, I just picked up an X with a panoramic roof for a daily driver

pruettfan · 02-02-2016, 09:56 PM

I am pretty sure BMW calculated that to hit their target base price they could either include the moonroof or the higher level of base equipment (power seats, Nav etc). Personally I am 100% ok with that. I would have ordered moonroof delete otherwise.

Nobody is shoving anything on you, but people do like to have a bloody choice in life.

After 4 years with a vert no air is a buzzkill.
