    The sunroof controller can fail. I had to replace mine on my R36. The switch looks a bit different on the B7 - its has a panoramic roof - than the B6 which has a conventional sunroof.

    Hi Jakey, where did you get the wheel centre caps from? Mine have seen better days too. I also have a dead LED in my right taillight, but it's not really noticeable and I can live with that.
