RE: Panoramic Roof

Yes it can be stopped at any point.

While I was initially impressed with the pano roof and even more with the blinding, I decided to remove it from my option list. The glass starts above the driver's head, even slightly behind you if you're not 2 meters long. Sitting in the front seats, you don't even notice it. It would be an option to please kids or back passengers, both of which I don't have in my car at a regular basis.

RE: Panoramic Roof

I have kept it because it gave a lot more headroom (and even more impression of more headroom)

I thought it would be an absolute essential on the coupe, just to give that extra bit of headroom. However after sitting in one on Saturday which didn't have one fitted, I would say that even without, there is enough room for it not to be a consideration (even in the back).
I will definately still go for it, but only because of the extra light and feeling of space.

RE: Panoramic Roof

Thought of that as well, but my dealer specifcally replied it wouldn't make a difference (certainly not a € 800 difference), especially since I'll be reselling in 3-4 years when there won't be a big second hand market yet.

RE: Panoramic Roof

Well put it this way,a Mini with a panoramic roof at even 8 years old sells twice as fast and at a premium than a tin roofed counterpart.

RE: Panoramic Roof

If you check out my video (in 1080p HD) from the Birmingham NEC event, towards the end of the video I show the Pure interior with panoramic roof and opening closing.

I also show a shot of the Prestige coupe win non panoramic roof to give you an idea of the interior space without one.

However once the blind is shut it sort of adds a nice contrast plus changes the acoustics as the material absorbs the sounds instead of bouncing of glass when blind is open (the blind material is fairly thick and almost feels solid when shut, same material as headlining so alludes to a solid roof).


Arrived 22nd December - SD4 Dynamic Auto, Fuji White, Panoramic/Contrast Roof, Dynamic Plus & Lux Pack

Non-opening glass roofs are useless in the Aussie sun. Not an option I'll be ordering.

The extra 35-45mm (5dr) would be great for my extra tall frame, but I can do without the extra heat transfer.
