So I was driving along the freeway at normal speeds when my sunroof exploded. It was like a shotgun went off and the glass was everywhere. The car is a 2012 X5d with 85k on on the clock.
Has anyone experienced this?
I did read that there was a class action lawsuit against BMW.

It's a bit chilly in WA state but not cold, plus the car has been in colder climates so I don't think it's temperature related. I'm pretty convinced that nothing struck the car.
Hopefully my insurance will cover it. Any advice appreciated.
My wife said if she had been driving she would of crashed.

Hell ya the insurance is going to cover it
So, rather than loose my $500 deductible I decided to buy a new glass screen online. I found this on ebay for $200. It was really simple to change myself. The glass is held in place by 6 screws......that's it. Super easy to do. The hardest part was getting all the glass fragments out of the sunroof mechanism.
