Is it safer maybe, is it lighter (not enough to matter), just say you don’t like sunroofs use the headroom excuse. Its a personal choice, I wouldn’t own a car without one and basically use it every day unless its 45 or under. Great way to vent a hot interior sitting outside, after working out, lets light in when you don’t want it dark and adds to the resale value.

I test drove the one with sunroof and my head touched roof.
I'm only 6' 2.5". (189 cm for the folk in rest of the world)

I emailed to BMW genius to ask about the headroom difference before I put my order.

They said it's 1.9" difference.
(It took them more than a week to respond because they said their engineering team is measuring it....lol)

Now mine w/o sun roof, I have about 2" clearance.

It's just the fact that I got more head room w/o sunroof.
