This has been happening about once a week for about 3 months now and the dealer can't seem to be able to duplicate it!

What happens is when you go to close either the front driver or passenger window, it will raise for about 2 inches then suddenly roll all the way down.. it has happened with the auto-up function AND me holding the button in the up position throughout the entire process.. as far as i can tell, it doesn't matter how high or low the window is already opened when trying to close it.

Anyone else out there experiencing the same problem?

Lots of people--including me--have (do a search). They replaced the window drive on my front passenger window--no more problem--now my drivers window is acting up.

I had the same problem, but it was due to a bad anti-trap sensor. I was alerted whenever the anti-trap function was activated by the iDrive display as well as the display on the driver's console. Not sure if this is the same problem, but it sounds similar. If you got no anti-trap warning, then your problem might be different.
