Hi, guys, is the drivers window supposed to close fully after one touch of the switch? Mine doesn’t, have tried opening and closing it a couple of times but doesn’t make any difference. I’ve again but doesn’t seem to mention my issue.

without actually getting in the car and checking from memory a full press closes it all the way, IIRC it's a two stage switch or a slightly longer press to get it all the way up.

I know this sounds daft, but I think the one touch close won't work if the door is slightly ajar.

Was the door properly closed?

It should work with one touch, definitely unless the door isn't closed properly.

After some events (such as disconnected battery) you have to re-initialise the soft touch.

It doesn't read too well, but the below might help:

An initialization must be performed:
? In the event of malfunctions, e.g. no one-touch control function, no opening or if available no comfort function is possible
? After the power window drive has been replaced
? After work is carried out on the power window mechanism
? If necessary, after an open circuit, e.g. disconnection of the battery or disconnection of the power supply to the door
? After the door window glass has been removed and installed or replaced
? After adjustment work on the door window glass
? After adjustment work on the convertible top
? After replacement of seals


Initialization is performed on the power window switch of the relevant door.
Requirements for correct initialization:
? Terminal "R" activated
? Doors and windows closed
? Sufficient battery voltage; connect charger if necessary
Initialization comprises:
? Erasure of initialization
? Reinitialization


Erasure of initialization:
? Open door window glass fully
? Actuate power window switch in "Open" position (second switch position) and hold down for between 15 and 20 seconds
This clears initialization of the power window. Anti-trapping protection and one-touch control (toll) function are inactive.
Check whether one-touch control (toll) function is inactive, otherwise repeat procedure.

Reinitialization:
? Close door window completely
? After upper end position is reached, interrupt actuation of power window switch and then hold switch again for approx. 1 second in "Close" position (second switch position)
? Open door window glass fully
? After upper end position is reached, interrupt actuation of power window switch and then hold switch again for approx. 1 second in "Open" position (second switch position)
? Close door window completely
? After upper end position is reached, interrupt actuation of power window switch and then hold switch again for approx. 1 second in "Close" position (second switch position)
This completes initialization.
Note:
Carry out function check (one-touch control function, anti-trapping protection and, if necessary, comfort function).

Note:
The power window can also be initialized in the BMW diagnosis system by means of a diagnosis job.
