I have a 530D in UK and am having a problems with the windows..

After washing the car or after rain etc.. if you wind the windows down and up again, I get lot's of water on the glass..

This will also happen days after washing the car ie if I wind the window down (totally dry) it comes up wet etc. It is very annoying and it leaves streak marks etc..

Is this something just on my car or every E60?

I noticed it on mine after a wash, but it does dry out quickly. You might want to have your seals checked. On my last car (325 Touring) I had some water ingress through the window seal that ended up in my footwell ! I don't think this can happen in a E60 because of the door design, but who knows......

This happened all the time on my cooper S......a complete pain in the bum, I did however manage to improve things greatly by using RainX liquid which made the water bead and blow off rather than leave streaks, I'll rain-x my E60 this weekend when it gets its first zymol-ing (weather permitting)

zippers525 is right.

So far it happened on every single car I have been driving. Very annoying.
Some kind of drying system would be a heck of an invention, but probably waaaay too expensive.
