228

  • 30,000 miles
Was driving down the highway around 65mph. There were no cars or trucks around me. As I was driving I suddenly heard a loud explosion type sound. I heard glass shatter and wind start to enter my car. I was absolutely shocked and almost lost control of my vehicle. I took the next exit off the highway and parked my car. Upon exiting, I saw a huge gaping hole in my glass sunroof, along with the remaining glass completely shattered and cracked. There is currently a lawsuit on-going about manufacturer defects on BMW causing sunroofs to explode. I believe I was a victim of this. As seen in the pictures, whatever caused the glass to "explode" pushed the glass to an outward direction, where as a rock would not cause this type of patter.
