I've had the same thing happen. After a lot of fiddling, and switching the ignition on and off again, I've got it to close again. But it's happened a couple of times and been a right pain. I thought I was just being stupid the first time. 8)

Why else would you unlock the doors.. if not to get in..? (or am I missing something here!?)

The other thing you can do is configure the door opening in the MFD so that only the drivers window drops when you unlock the car. Press twice to unlock/drop the passenger door etc.. I've done this on mine and on my dad's CC, as I didn't want all windows dropping in cold weather etc.

I dont see why the windows need to be dropped at the point of pressing the unlock button on the fob :S

As i said . My 1 series windows only dropped once the door handle was pulled.

I park the car in my street. The area is actually one of the better parts of town but which can also make it a big of a magnet at times, with the odd spate of burglaries, cars broken into etc.

Went to the car this morning to find that the nearside window (facing the pavement) was fully wound down. Just don't get how this happened, since I wasn't driving with it down. Presumably, I messed up with the keyfob or something. Couldn't believe that nothing had been touched - not even rummaged through!
