Re: Re: no sunroofs? Just say no to the Sunroofs!

Hans,
I can understand your frustration but, your needs and desires not 
withstanding, look at the practical aspect of ordering a sunroof on 
your new BMW. Resale value! And I don't mean what NADA or Edmunds or 
KBB tell you they're worth, I'm talking about the reality of trying 
to unload a late model BMW without one. Can't do it. It's like a 5 
series with vinyl interior. Sure, in the P.T. Barnum world we live in 
there's certain to be an ass for every seat, but can you afford to 
wait that long? Sunroofs return over their initial cost in real-world 
resale compared to BMWs without them.

Even if you never completely retract a sunroof, the vent position is 
invaluable in clearing built-up hot air out of a BMW in summer. But 
then I bet you prefer cloth upholstery, too. And probably don't have 
kids!

Just say it: You're cheap! Now go out and order your own BMW without 
a sunroof and leave the rest of us alone. <G>
