1 week later I got the same warning that you describe in my I-Drive and it disabled the one touch feature.
I will call my service rep. on monday and will have to bring it back in.

How does the anti-trap window work?? I tried using the one touch close and putting my hand in between the glass and it didnt stop!
Then I tried holding down the window to see if it stops but it didnt!!!! I was using a lot of pressure too and I heard the motor strain but it was still closing and was going to cut my hand off!!!

I had the exact same problem on my driver window. My service guys replaced the seal around the window and it has fixed the problem.

This is my worst E60 "bug". I have problems at multiple windows at varying times. I drove a loaner before and it had the same problem - which the dealer blamed on window tint. I do not have tint.
To whomever it was that the motor didn't stop with pressure - that should be fixed soon - that should never happen.
I expect we might see a recall on this as it is a very common and potentially dangerous problem - and certainly annoying.

i've had mine since Dec 03 and just encountered the problem last week. having read the manual and messing with the switch, i got it to reset. of course at first, i didn't know what it was about. the fault was at the left rear passenger side.

haha...maybe we should as the customers of NA BMW call our own recalls in ....seems like a common problem....Ive tried the Anti trap feature...seems to want to work when it feels like it....some times a slight bit of pressure will force the window back...although at other times it takes more than enough pressure...weird...

I had 17.1 installed this week and one of the issues I had reported was the bogus anti-trap warning. According to my SA and also the repair sheet I got from the dealer the issue is fixed by the software upgrade - "Update software will fix the glitch"

I'm having this same problem. Started a few days after tinting the windows. I assumed this was the problem. Recently upgraded to 16.1. Only effecting driver's window.
