When is panoramic sunroof due for X6?!
I know it's on X5. Been a passenger in a Q7 fitted with one, on the way to Salonik, Greece, and loved the way it looks.
The X6 deserves that, more than the Q7. It adds up to the restraining interior space. . .compared to others in lesser leagues. So, any thoughts or knowledge? PS: Loved the "I Drive" version of Audi Q7. . . PS2: How much is the panoramic roof on the X5? Thanks, not Palbay, but AK. .this time. |

On an X5 the headroom is OK with the sunroof, well it all depends about your size, if you mesure 7", probably you'll have to open the sunroof to fit in.. |

I absolutely love the panoramic sunroof (on my wife's car). I wish the X6 would sport the panoramic sunroof. But it is pretty obvious due to the sloping form of the roof line, that it is next to impossible to fit the X6 with the panoramic sunroof. The panoramic sunroof on the X5, X3, 5 and 3 series touring models (or sport wagon as BMW USA calls it) all use the same two panel glass system. It only requires a fraction more space from the headroom compared to the regular sunroof that the X6 offers, but there is simply not enough roof real estate available to implement the same panoramic sunroof. I doubt that they would develop and manufacture a new (different) panoramic sunroof JUST for the X6. Another difference is that the simple sunroof in the X6 requires you to manually close the sun visor compared to the automatic open/close function you get on the panoramic sunroof.

I can't understand why people want to make the X6 into something it's not. It's NOT an X5, doesn't haul lots of s*it. I mean why aren't you asking why they don't have a panoramic roof on a z4, one look at the car would tell you why. This is a niche car not meant for generic use.

dude just fold down the rear seats and lay down facing up with ur head in the trunk and there u go a sunroof :P
jokes aside ... if i had noticed how small the sunroof is before i put my money down and had a choice i probably would've gone without it and went for the vented comfort seats

one more reason for not adding the panoramic sunroof is the extra weight that the X6 already has alot of
i might like having a bigger sunroof that doesn't weight more and does have a sun visor and can be actually be opened and doesn't take away more headroom from the little thats left in the first place

A lot more added weight. That is one reason why the Q7 drives like a minivan.
