You have probably gotten this warning because you have a faulty anti trap sensor or more possibly a malfunctioning window motor.
I?ve had it twice on my car, right rear and front left window. Had to replace the electric motors on both!

My Ride: (USA) 645Ci, Silver Gray, Chateau, Cold Weather PKG, Premium Sound PKG, Sport PKG, Step, NAV [Std Equip in 645], HUD, Satellite (SIRIUS) Radio, Aux Input, Bluetooth enabled using iPhone 3GS w/ adapter cradle - Build date - 01/05, Baby delivered 2/24/05
Pretty common complaint. Mine was driver side motor. I could make it happen 95% of time by putting car in reverse with window open and then try to close. Almost guarenteed of getting the anti trap warning. I worked around it ok by raising prior to putting in reverse (could even have been some loose mechanical item). But did complain, they installed motor and worked perfectly since.
