I for sure know that the closing of the windows and the moonroof was not possible from key (when you press the lock and hold it) in the US built cars. Atleast it was not possible on mine. But now, all of a sudden it works! Is that because of a CIP upgrade?? I believe I have CIP 19.0
Can anybody else confirm this?

I sure hope that this isn't just some bug in the new software that they'll take out in future versions...
It'll be nice to (for once) feel as if BMW is treating me like an adult that can handle such a "dangerous" feature.

[/quote]It kind of happened by accident. Saturday morning, so I was cleaning the car, had all the windows down, moonroof open. I had to go in for a moment, so I locked using the key, and held it down and voila, all the windows closed and so did the moonroof. Surprising! Hopefully its not a bug and wont go away. I like this.
