Someone else had the same thing happen to them. Do a search in the forum. I think he accidently hit the all open button or sat on it.

Its not impossible to consider that the button could've accidently been held or sat on.

I agree. I'm for guilty until proven innocent. I'm serious. My money is on operator error.

Saosin17 · 06-01-2006, 07:54 PM

what button on the fob, or combination of buttons does that? that hopefully was it

The unlock button. It only takes less than about 10-15 secs for everything to open.

Saosin17 · 06-01-2006, 07:58 PM

do you hold it down?

Yes

Asiann · 06-01-2006, 08:00 PM

Go try it out and see for yourself. If you continue to have problems then yes take it to the dealer.

bsjd00 · 06-01-2006, 08:06 PM

I had the same thing happen - not sure if it was a genuine glitch or me somehow depressing the button.

Saosin17 · 06-01-2006, 08:11 PM

Park the car in the garage and see if it happens again.

There was someone else that had rain damage from this exact issue happening. I remember the dealer was not going to do anything about it. Search the site and you will find this string.

the unlock button held down would open everything. the moonroof opens last.

he said that his front windows and moonroof were the only ones open.

im kinda doubtful that the person just accidentally sat or depressed the button coz it would stop opening once you let go of the button. then you have to lock your car again to make it work again. correct me if im wrong but thats what i know.

yep, prolly held the button in on accident. Heck, I've unintentionally locked the car on a couple of occasions myself. Pressing on the bigger unlock key would be easy enough to do unnoticed.

i agree with you but some others have actually left the remote somewhere else and something else caused the windows to go down. I remember reading another post about this. Eitherway...just observe and if it occurs again, have it checked out.

Saosin17 · 06-01-2006, 09:28 PM

i will, i dont see how it couldve been pressed, but i mean anythings possible... i dunno it was just fuckin weird

MoreCowbell · 06-01-2006, 09:33 PM

Try parking inside

aphall · 06-01-2006, 10:23 PM

Maybe somewhat related, I have a glitch occassionally where the one touch up or down on my windows doesn't work. It has alternated between the passenger side and the driver's side. Has anyone else had this problem?

That damage was covered by the insurance, not dealer/BMWNA.

Missed the no back window. You can restart opening process by pressing the open button again. No need to lock and try again. Fact.
