US M5 without a sunroof?

Has anyone ordered or found out if it's possible to order an E60 M5 without a sunroof? I did some searching, but I couldn't find anything conclusive.

Thanks in advance.

None...Sunroof is not like the spoiler where it can be removed.

It should be stiffer. A sunroof also weighs quite a bit and it's weight where you don't want it.

But i like having a sun-roof.

It is weird how certain things are options on US cars & standard on Euro M5's, yet the total reverse on other options.

Deleting the sunroof in North America reduces the resale value of the car too.

Best regards,
