rear window glitch
Has anyone else had a problem with the rear windows not rolling up sometimes? There seems to be a glitch the causes the window to go halfway up and then go back down on it's own. I'm trying avoid another trip to the dealer for warranty work.

The dealership is about a 1 hour round trip...although they provide loaner vehicles, they kept ours for 5 days and it was outside in the hot sun most of that time...we live in the desert and our cars are always garage kept for good reason...the desert sun can really do damage to a vehicle over time so we try to keep our vehicles out of the sun as much as possible. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else had problems with the rear windows of their Gran Coupe. I'll definitely take it back to the dealer if I have to but it would also be helpful if I can give them an idea of what the problem could be... |

I have had this problem, though mine is a convertible. It's actually going back to the dealer for teh 2nd time on this issue next week.
I too got the spiel about failed initialisation, blah, blah, blah. But the problem persisted and the "Anti-trap Malfunction" code & message appear. They are now swapping out the window motors, supposedly. It has occurred on all 5 windows, but mostly the right-rear quarter window seems to act up the most. |

It stinks on a convertible because you assume the windows will close after the top coses. Then you realize the window is down and thank god it didn't rain. |

Same here on my 640.
Drivers window only it seems. Wound the window all the way down and kept the button held down for a while, then did the same winding up (as I seemed to recall this was the resetting procedure on older ones!). Worked ok for a while, but does it randomly every now and then still. |

Well, we decided to take the Gran Coupe back to the dealer on 7/9/18...It has been there since then. I did call the service tech on 7/12/18 to get the status of the vehicle and he told me that new regulators had to be ordered for both rear windows. I really don't like when they start taking things apart because most of the time, that's when you start to hear noises. The car has a very quiet interior so I just hope that they put things back together nice and tight like it has always been. They gave us a pretty nice 2019 X3 s-drive 30i loaner vehicle but my wife says that it doesn't compare to the 640i Gran Coupe...can't wait to get it back.

update...
We just got the 640i back today! The dealer ended up replacing both rear window motors/drive for window lifter...all covered under warranty. Everything seems to be working fine now!

Don't have this problem on my 2016 650 but do on my 1998 M3 convertible. I have to hold the button while I roll it up or down.
