My daughter has a E46 ZHP sedan without a sunroof -- huge headroom available for helmets, more than even in my M3 without the sunroof.

Thankfully BMW is *finally* figuring out there is significant demand in the USA for cars without a sunroof, so instead of forcing you to have one by having it either standard or part of the premium package, on the M235i there is a checkbox to eliminate the sunroof. Thankfully there were a good bit of E90 M3s ordered without sunroofs...else I couldn't own the car...of course on the E90 it was a $1000 option.

Not having ~50lbs of dead weight at the highest possible location on the car is a nice side benefit.
