These are the links I used.. It's really self explanatory once you get in there and see what it looks like.. You have to tilt the sunroof up and take off the little rubber accordian looking things on each side to see the 3 screws on each side.. They're T25 screws btw, and also, once you start to loosen them your sunroof will drop into those tracks a little bit, maybe 1/4" so don't freak out, you'll just have to align it when you put it back on which really isn't hard..

If you are not sure why you should do that, well... we are trying to create a platform exclusively for diy guides so that we can provide the world with better accessibility to such information.

Another feature worth mentioning is that we will be sharing the revenue generated by our platform with the people that write the diy guides.

Let me know if you have any questions and how you feel about our initiative.

Sounds like a great cause auto

I used your step by step process to remove the head lining from my 09 M3.
The headlining had come adrift in spots and was sucking down with the windows down. it took me a couple of hours to get it out and a bit longer to get it back again.
Trimtech Trimming & Upholstery in Geelong charged me $250 to reline the head lining. So pleased with the result.
Anyway thanks so much for the DIY process.
Cheers

The headlining is hard to show.
The new head lining is not an exact match to the original, but you would have to know. The original head lining had lifted near the grab handles on both sides and if you drove with the windows down the lining was sucked down as well.
