Bummed that my 2013 R56 sunroof doesn't open and close with one click - like my my R53 did.... Otherwise I LOVE my MINI #2. It'll be paid off soon.

That is easily corrected using NCS Expert and recoding the sunroof. I did it on my 2008.

Hold the button for about 1 second and it opens fully. So:
- a quick jab just opens it ajar
- a short hold opens it fully
- a long hold only opens it while the button is held.
Takes a bit of practice to get the timing right.

It's like the window switches - a short hold to activate the automatic fully-open.

Hope this is useful for someone!!

...and in the menu, you can change how long they stay on for - I think it's up to a minute in 10 second intervals.
