On 05/31/2006 I became the proud owner of an Alpine White 2006 330I w/premium, sport, satellite radio and active steering. On 06/17/2006, I was westbound on I-10 approaching S.R. 143 (in Phoenix, AZ) when I heard a loud POP from the inside of my new car. Then it sounded like claws scratching over the top of the car, as I looked out the rear-view mirror I saw small black objects skidding off the trunk lid. What was it? My moonroof glass had exploded out of the car. Fortunately the moonroof cover was in place and neither my passenger or myself was injured. I stopped to assess the damage and observed my moonroof bulging out of the vehicle with a large hole in the middle and numerous scratches and divots (down to the metal) in the paint on the roof and trunk lid from the broken glass. When this occurred the traffic on I-10 was light and no overpasses were insight. The outside temperature was 109 degrees, according to my dash. My concern was that the glass was bulging up and out of the vehicle as if the pressure inside the vehicle forced the glass out. If an object was to have struck the glass, it would have broken into the vehicle. The dealership said something must have hit the glass and said I would have to have it fixed through their body shop using my insurance. When I got to the body shop I was told "It looks as though there was a defect in the glass." Now I am fighting to get the dealership to cover the glass and paint damage under warranty.
