Is it possible to replace the moonroof on E34s with a glass unit? I think that would be a huge aesthetical improvement, from both inside and outside the vehicle.

MacR 09-16-2007, 04:49 PM You find more Alpina's with glass moonroofs than the moonroofs themselves. Very hard to find! offthewall 09-16-2007, 04:53 PM is there a way to get it custom? how hard can it be to cut a piece of glass that matches the sunroof? MacR 09-16-2007, 05:00 PM well, i believe it requires a different motor, plus you'd need the brackets and slider to cover the glass from the inside. dcv 09-16-2007, 05:47 PM If a piece of glass or fibreglass, maybe even heavy duty plastic, could be cut & drilled to match the exact specs of the existing metal...wouldn't the mounting brackets and the rest of the hardware bolt on?

I'm sure if one were to Google the two, BMW and SAAB moonroof you'll find something? :) 4500 RPM 09-16-2007, 07:26 PM I think I read somewhere where a SAAB moonroof was a direct fit?
