Funny how they talk about CA being able to roll the windows down from the fob when in reality, non-CA cars can do it too!
in any case I can only do 1 or the other, not both. So I guess I am only half spoiled.. I do have 2005, so I dont know if they changed that feature for both on the newer models

Ok, call me lazy, but the owners manual is MASSIVE for this car.. I have an 04 545. How do you do the window up/down thing from the fob?

Lol! For US-spec non-CA cars, simply hold down the door unlock button for a few seconds. The windows will open partially, pause fo a sec, then start to roll down fully. If you continue to hold when the windows are down, the sunroof will open. Closing everything involves inserting the key into the door lock, turn to lock and hold. Even some E46's have this feature.

Even some E46's have this feature.If you have CA, you can close everything by touching (and holding) the door handle in the area that locks the car.
(Also, to reiterate, outside of the USA, your mileage may vary. Most other countries allow the remote closing from the key fob.)

Actually, this has been a feature of many BMW models for at least 20 years now. I can't remember if my E24's had it but my 1989 535i certainly did. As did my 1999 M Roadster.
QUESTION?
If we have the programmer, like the one guy is offering for rent cant we program US cars to roll windows up???
