As the title states, my roof will not open but the motor operates as normal. Have any of you experienced this? If so, can you tell me what part has failed?
Thanks.
2000 Z3 M Coupe
My first coupe had this issue, so this could be what's happened to yours.
The sunroof motor is mated to an assembly with two plastic lifting arms inside, and one of those arms broke causing the glass to stop lifting even though the motor still worked.
Not sure how it broke or if that's the only possibility here, but it's what came to mind.

Sunroof Delete to solve the problem?
Nah. I'm part of that small minority that digs the sunroof vent. I definitely have to fix it.

I have the same problem. Only one side of the roof gets pushed up when I try to open the sunroof. The other side doesn't move, causing the sunroof to twist.
I think the solution is to order a new set of sunroof kinematics (p/n 54108410693) and replace the broken slider system which is independent from the motor.
The part is hard to find. Hopefully you have luck.

I ordered through BMW of Atlanta.

Curtis, had the same issue on my Coupe. As stated already, it's the kinematics. The arms of mine were fine, it was the rotating rod that broke and separated from the arm on the passengers side. I had picked up a used sunroof, so I just had to swap over the kinematics. It's a nuisance, but not particularly hard. Watch out for those blasted E clips that hold the kinematics to the glass. They fly like the wind, and are tough to relocate.
Hopefully mcoupemindy will have another Z3 fix it day this year and I can tackle it with the help of folks who are in the know.

Back to the drawing board.... sunroof kinematics (p/n 54108410693) are available again and now cost $700

$700??
Considering sunroof delete option.
Wholesale is >$600 for that part number. I just checked. Supply and demand rule these parts.
I can't believe it. It's done and I will have brand new sunroof kinematics today. Because I placed my order on 2/9/14, Get BMW parts.com honored the price of $191.54 + 15.90 S&H = $207.44!!!
Current price of kinematics... $652.78 http://www.getbmwparts.com/parts/200...t=Slide%20assy
