your windows only go down automatically when dropping the top, not up when closing the top

If your windows are up when you drop the top then your windows should go up when you are closing the top. However I did install the smart top on mines so maybe I reprogrammed it to do that.

No, the windows do not roll up automatically by default. I don't remember if this can be programmed but I know the standard programming is down and only down. I think BMW took a step back on our cars since i know my E85 also rolled them up if you held the button down but it took a while.

Correct, both my E85s put the windows up after the top closed, whether using the button inside the car or the by-the-key-in-the-door method.

Struck me as odd that the E89 didn't close the windows after the top, but I think it has something to do w/ the windows being split vs. the E85 where it was 1 solid window. At any hoot, the E89 does not do it by default.

What? I'm going to have to check this out.
Edit: checked it out and my car does not do what you described. First I've heard of it. Anyone else able to close the windows as ojo describes?
