not quite sure where your's is broke, but an E30 sunroof handle with the knob still firmly attatched is a rare beast indeed.
The handle mechanism is held in place by the two crosshead screws you can see in the plastic piece. At the back of this piece there should be a circlip holding the handle into the plastic piece. The locating groove for this circlip is quite prone to breaking up, letting the handle fall out.
