Hi all, I have a 2016 F33 (4 series convertible) M Sport and I'm after some answers.
1. Does the convertible have anti-trap Windows? I ask this because the brochure says yes but my local dealership say no. 2. Are the windows supposed to be able to open and close on the remote key fob? The standard spec says yes, but mine only go down. The dealership say that the absence of anti trap is the reason why the Windows will only go down not up. Currently I have my dealership and BMW finance looking into this as there is either an issue with my car or that the brochure is incorrect. One option that the dealership are proposing is to retrofit comfort access but I am not sure that this will close the windows. Any knowledge from the forum will be much appreciated. |

If the convertible has comfort access, you can raise and lower the roof with the key. This obviously includes the lowering and raising the windows to allow the roof to do its thing.
Not sure about anti trap, but can look into this for you.

All BMW Windows and sun roofs have been anti trap for years IMO. I'd be stunned if the F33 did not have anti trap.
Yes Windows should be able to open and close from the fob. Maybe Chompers is more in the know but I've never had comfort access and respectively holding down open or close on the fob takes all Windows and a sunroof open or closed. The more common vert questions I see on this are Re the roof.

All f32/F33 have anti trap as standard.
And the should be fully operational up and down from the key fob. Comfort access allows remote roof raising and lowering. To retrofit comfort access would be nigh on impossible as the wiring harness is different to a non version.It uses about half a dozen extra aerials around the car/exterior handles are different/key are different/as is the FEM. There's something wrong with you're car pal,either the windows aren't initialised properly or it's been coded wrong at factory. |

Perhaps only slightly relevant but here goes:
Our old 1 series convertible (2010, E88) did not have comfort access. It was possible to OPEN the roof with the key but to close it you had to use the switch inside. If comfort access was soec'd (as a friend of mine had on a very similar car) it was possible to open/close with the key. The Windows DO have anti trap when closing with the normal window switch. The anti trap is overridden and DOES NOT function when using the roof close button. Hope this helps. EDIT: just try the anti trap by sticking a rolled up towel or something in the window - it won't break it.

BMW UK have refunded me on may occasions for this error. One example IF you specify Active security Pack it deletes the Glove box next to the steering wheel from Extended storage.

Dealers need to get their act together to inform users of what some options do to a build. It is not uncommon for users to tell dealers what is in BMW information, already out in the public domain. |

I know they also attend countless training sessions each year, I wonder if others don't always bother to take these seriously?

Reminds me of the time adaptive suspensions were coming into the models, remember asking a salesman (not my dealer) what he thought about the adaptive systems. He said they weren't worth adding. When asked if he had tried them himself, he said he hadn't. Says it all. |
