Drivers side rear window switch?
My car is a 2011 535i xdrive. This is kinda strange but from the drivers side I can't not put down the rear windows. The rear switches does not click downwards. I can pull up on the switch but not down. Can someone tell me if this is normal or not. I only had the car for about two months.

Sorry I can't offer more. I've had my 528i for 3 weeks and there are many things I still have to learn about the car. I'm sure you're well ahead of me. Hope you get it resolved soon.

The safety switches are only intended to keep the rear passengers from controlling the windows. The switches in the rear will still physically move up/down, they just wouldn't do anything. If the switch on any particular door isn't actually moving, or only allowing the window to work in one direction, it sounds like something is broken.

Again I'm talking about the drivers door rear window switches. Looking through it more, it looks like that's the way its designed. It only put the windows up. Also when the rear window are down and you flip the switch up and let go, it'll roll up all the way close. It does not stop when you let go. I see that as a safety hazard! Someone could have their hand or head out the window.. Last edited by Black5; 05-13-2014 at 11:51 PM.. |

Had same issue. It was almost as if rear window switch was jammed with something. Operated fine from the rear seats, just not from driver's location. Dealer replaced switch under warranty.

So far owning my car for little over two months I've taking it twice for repair. First time a water seal fell off causing it to flood in rear passenger when it rains. Hopefully this nothing else falls off for a while.. |

The issue is the little chrome trim piece that is directly behind the controls for the front windows. I just purchased a 2011 535i and noticed the next day that I had the same issue. I was coming from an infiniti and all the obscure/counter-intuitive BMW features had me convinced that there was some trick I had not learned. Stopped by dealership because the service interval display was showing up incorrectly and asked if I was missing something regarding the windows. They dug around and got the piece out. Couldn't get it to stay on so ordered me a new switch assembly. Seemed like overkill, but its warranty work so who am I to complain.
