    My 2001 330i with 101K has a sunroof issue. The one touch is not working and the sunroof will open and close only by repeatedly pushing the switch. Each push of the switch moves it about an inch in the desired direction. I checked the rails and everything appears clear and there are no odd...

The motor fit just about fine, but it's slightly different. I was thinking maybe its just a slightly different year 330i but I...
