This issue mostly occurs to the driver side's window. About 1/5th of the times when I opperate this window by pulling up the window, the window rolls up exactly halfway and quickly rolls back down and we go at it for a good couple of rounds. This also occured to the rear left window. However, it was when the engine was off and the window just would not stay closed! 
Once it became in contact with the door's frame it rolled back down so I had to turn the car on and off couple of times to make it stop. 
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Should I take it to the dealership and have them check it out?

Yep happened to me on front windows only. Hmm I guess I know I'm not the only one. I thought I may have accidently pressed it back down. But I ain't sure. I'm gonna just have my dealer scope it out. The first day I got my car it just went nutz lol. a major turnoff for me....haha wipers goin of i-drive went nutz, i drive knob had no resistance, then wiper froze smack in the middle of my windshield and it decided just to hangout and never moved. Then the best part was all my guage info lighting i mean everything just went dead.LOL then back on then off haha...damn that I think was an experience, one day off fresh from the lot. That's just plain embarassing...LOL. Paid over 60K for my car.........an experience like that.......priceless.

My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
I already know wht the prolem with my car that is not yet here is going to be. One of my only requirements on a new car was power windows. I do not have them on my current car and I am the only one in the physcicia's parkinglot who has to manually roll down the windows to use my pass card. I had power windows on a grand prix a few years ago and the drivers window made the loudest scratching sound when opening and opened slowly. 5 trips to the dealer and was never fixed in 4 years. I was so embarassed that I had to open to the dorr to get in the parking lot. So, I already know that the power drivers window will not work correctly. Oh, well.

I did it on my 2004 E60 a few months ago and everything has worked fine since. Do a search for "Anti-Trap"
or I am sure that someone will post the link

Not sure what that link has to do with the window anti-trap - it seems to be about a 12V power supply not working - at least that's where it is taking me.
Anyway, this has been discussed a lot as it is a common problem with seemingly multiple solutions. If my car was out of warranty I probably would have tried the re-initialization routine but I just took it in and the whole winder and control module was replaced. No problems for almost 1 year now.

Wow, Rudy, you must know how to use the search function.
Could you also tell me how to connect my iPod to the car, what your favorite wax is (keep it clean, now
), or how to tell the CIP version in my car...
Sorry...couldn't control myself...just seems like there's been so many multiple posts lately...
Here's a good post for some to read...

I had the same problem went to the dealer and had them replace the driver side window motor. You should try that cuz everything is still under warranty. Hope that helps.
