Roof Closing then windows opening problem

[shambolic]

Mines does that all the time only drivers side though!
No major prob as I just hit the button again till it goes up.
On the 4 window opening I had he SLK for 2 years before I found out 2 quick pulls on the roof button put them down(coupe mode or something)
Same happens with the E89 pull and hold big button behind windo buttons and all 4 go down

Have now operated my roof more than 6 times since doing 'the reset' and all is working fine - strange I wonder what opening and closing the windows does to 'reset' them?

Glad it worked - all computer wizardry :rofl:

Have now noticed that when I open the roof if I keep it operating past the roof open position, so that the windows close, that the next time the roof is closed the windows drop again! Then if I 'reset' the windows all works OK..........................

Mine seem OK still so far!

Have now been monitoring this for a while and the 'reset' idea if it does anything at all only works for a little while as now my windows are back to opening slightly after I close the roof again. Guess I will have to wait for the response from the dealer for a fix.

Mines still OK so far.

Spoke to the dealer (Vines Gatwick) again today about this issue. They were unable to fix it and raised a technical request with BMW (A 'PUMA') for a fix some weeks ago. They have not yet had a response from BMW and say that is probably because it has not been reported my many other customers, Vines know of one other. Therefore the message has got to be that if we want a fix best we tell our dealers and hence BMW there is a fault.

4 windows

A little birdy told me the smaller rear windows on the E89 "coupé with a folding roof " were designed to drop to enable the driver to experience the joy of the exhaust note whilst the roof was still up and the main larger windows were closed; don't know if this is true or not but I can confirm that I just love being able to drop the small rear windows and listen to that growl day in and day out, with or without the front windows up/down or the roof on/off.



In fact I cant remember the last time I took the Zed out and didn't drop the small rear windows to listen to the Growl :driving:

MikeS; Had a small issue with my windows. As you know when you open the door on the E89, the window drops a couple of inches automatically, then when you close the door it closes the windows again automatically Nice touch - however I have had the windows sporadically drop to say half open when you open the door, then not do it again for a few days, then do it. I was just going to add this to the list of items for dealer to look at next time I visit service centre, but will now try the reset option (Thanks AlanJ) next time this happens.
