BMW of Florence explains the differences.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SUNROOF AND A MOONROOF?
The difference between a sunroof and a moonroof, in simple terms: * Sunroofs are opaque panels made of metal or even canvas, that are installed in the roof of a car, truck, or SUV. They pop up, can be removed, or slide open to allow light and air into the cabin. * Moonroofs are usually a clear or tinted glass panel that slides between the roof and the headliner and can sometimes also be tilted open to let in fresh air. Moonroofs are sometimes but not always larger than sunroofs.
WHAT IS A MOONROOF?
Sunroof tends to be an umbrella term for any glass roof panels on a vehicle. A moonroof is a category of sunroofs that are exclusively made of glass and can't be removed from your BMW. Most moonroofs can slide or tilt open to get some fresh air on those beautiful Marion spring days. When not in use, moonroofs can usually be covered with a sliding panel that matches the car's interior.
