Body problem #1

I was driving on an interstate in utah near park city in a rented car (BMW X3) and the sunroof exploded suddenly and without warning. It created an extremely loud boom that reverberated. My passenger and I didn't know what happened and it was scary and caused panic. We pulled over and discovered what had happened. It was one of the most frightening situations I've ever experienced.

Body problem #2

Whenever the vehicle is driven, despite the temperature, the panoramic moon roof cracks and creaks and sounds like it is going to break. The dealer said numerous people have also complained about this happening and BMW will not do anything about it. This is my 3rd X3 of this body style and my other two did not have this issue because BMW didn't "cheapen" out on the window sealant and materials of the lining and mounts in the sunroof until the lci redesign or 2023. I am afraid that one of these days it will crack and break downward, causing a major safety hazard while driving and I want BMW to fix and/or remedy the problem(s) ASAP.
