"Technically" no
What's the difference between Moonroof and Sunroof? A sunroof is an operable metal panel in a car roof that slides back to let in light and air.

I can go on the internet and pull up something that says something else.

Either way, like I said. My metal panel is a sunroof, and will refer to ir as such from now on.Last edited by mbonanni; 08-22-2013, 11:35 AM.Comment

Sounds good man I'm glad your living the good life :)
I can't wait to move out and be on my own.Comment

this is why i bitch.
the E30 moonroof is very rare and very expensive
if you had a car with one i would be very impressed.

If you can get either version it's absolutely worth it. It is hands down my favorite mod. The tint is even dark enough where you don't bake in the sun.
