My Ride: 2008 BMW 535i Silver - E60
The weirdest thing happens to my 08 535i. Yesterday, I went to the mall. When I got back to my car, the driver side window was completely open. I tested it, the locked alert beep comes out when the window is OPEN!!!
Then this morning, my roommate told me that, the windows are open again. I went out, and saw all the four windows were half open!!!!WTF?????!!!!!!
Does anyone have any clue, what is this problem????? SO WEIRD!!!!!
Thank you!!!!

I think you have something wrong with your computer and keyboard too. For some reason your post came out in a really obnoxious blue with giant font size.
Now about the windows... try this. With your windows up, use your key fob and press in and hold down the unlock button and keep it pressed for a few seconds. The windows should go down. Is it possible your key fob is getting pressed while in your pocket?
Some people get out to their car and find their trunk open because of this!

as for the window issue, same thing happened to me couple weeks ago and it turned out my daughter was pressing the "nice looking button" on my key fob. Well either that or you have a bad window switch with a mind of its own.

Thanks guys!
Sorry about that blue...I don't get used to ready small print in forums...
I didn't know that key has such fuction. I guess I just didn't read through the user manual.

I had this happen to me once (all windows open and sunroof open) when I first got my car but I realized my unlock button is easy to push and my other keys must have kept the button down while sitting with the keyfob in my pocket. Now I make a habit of removing the fob from my pocket when necessary. No problem since. Hope thats your only problem.

Yes. Definitely get a key cover.
Cheap protection from accidentally leaving your windows and sunroof open, especially from rain and snow!

It happened to me too and the bad part was it just wasn't a nice beautiful day when it happen, a thunderstorm came through and all four windows were completely down and the sunroof was opened about 30% The sunroof was the clue that told me this was my fault. Car eventually dried out and all is ok!
