i tried this video but didnt work !!!!! same thing engine off cant close moonroof unless turn engine back on

I have the exact same issue with my 2008 550i! If the engine is off and I vent the sunroof I am unable to close it. Clicking forward, back or tilt just causes the sunroof to go down then back up. When I turn on the engine, no problem at all. Coding thing maybe?

Had the same issue. I had to hold the button while it reprogrammed itself. Works fine now. Key was to not let the button go. Takes like 2 minutes or so.

Thanks Macht. I will try this. Strange issue though!
