2007 MCS Dual sunroofs...Do they both slide?...And the switches on the roof.. open?

Am thinking about getting another mini to replace my 2004 MCS that was sold in October 2011...But have three questions....that I cant seem to find the answer too and maybe they have been answered before..if so I am sorry.

1. On a 2007 MCS with the dual sunroof option...Do the front and rear sunroofs open fully like the front one on my 2004 MCS...or do they just tilt up?...The salesman told me they both open...I haven't found any pictures with them both open at the same time...If anyone knows the answer please let me know...A picture would be good too.

2. Also the toggle switch bank at the top between the sun visors...Does anyone have a picture of a FULL switch bank?...And what all do they control?

3. Is there a R56 buyers guide page, as there is with the R53's?

Thanks Jeffrey

Hi, looking to get an '07?
Had one...but that is another story...

Your first question - yes and no... Sorry...both panes will tilt open on first opening but if you hold the switch the back one closes and the front one will open like on your '03.

The toggle switches - the far left and right operate the reading lights for the passenger and driver. The 2nd in from the right changes the color of the "mood" lights (see below). The center does the sun roof and the 2nd in from the left does the overhead light (hope I got that all right, going from memory)

last question don't know

The Gen 2s have interior has mood lighting. These can be changed from red, purple, blue...fun stuff.

I have several friends from the Hudson area, not too far from where I am. Been here a long time. Hope Kansas is good to you and your new Mini...

Just wondering if there is a R56 buyers guide as with the R53's?

Thanks Jeffrey
