Went to bmwcca event in Bowie md. I was walking around and saw this guy witha laptop sitting in this guys car. He said he was clearing some codes. Long story short he got my key remote to open and close the windows by pressing the button. He also turned the parking lights off when the lights are on.

yeah, bmw disabled the window close feature in the usa. you can still open the windows by holding the unlock button.

parking lights off with the headlights on? why?

Why not? U guys are always putting the euro overlays on the parking lights. This way when the lights are on u don't c the yellow. I know u can put the key n the door. But I'm talking about point and close or open.

the euro overlays just cover the yellow reflector, not a light. did you disable the eyebrow? thats what makes the e60 lights stand out and look awesome.

everyone can point and open the windows, just not close them.....in the US at least.

I can open and close with the point of the key to the car. To me the car looks just as good without eyebrows.

If you have comfort access, you can put the finger on the door handle lock position and hold it for >3 sec. to close the windows.
