I've done the same thing. Couldn't remember if I locked the car or not and pushed the lock button again as I was walking away. Turned around to look at the car one more time before heading in to the building (you know you do the same thing!) and noticed the windows were down.

So it wasn't my BMW that did something weird, it was operator error! : )

Now if only we can get it to close the same way that would be swell

Ah nice to know, are you sure it doesnt close the same way? I'm going to test it out when I get home

This happens all the time if you leave your key in your pocket and something presses against it. It is a function of a less than optimal key fob design that allows this to happen. It has happened to me as well.

Is this something the e60 does in a garage or something? haha cause it freaked me out!

Ha! I experienced this with my 530 also...came out of a bar the first night i had it and all windows down with sunroof open...I was like wtf, someone smashed all my windows LOL....thats when i learned not to put the key fob in your back pocket and sit on it.
