Anti-Trap/Window up function

I drive my car on club days and actually enjoy to drive with my windows down. However the car puts them up under the Anti-Trap function.

Has anyone been able to disable/code out this function?

Thanks

Not exactly sure what you are describing. I have my front windows down when at the track with BMWCCA HDPE’s and they stay down the whole time. Thought the anti trap feature was to stop the window from closing when a body part was in the way?

Driving the car hard and having the G’s around a corner it puts the window up automatically

I think the car is trying to protect you from all that smoke, it’s not health!

Interesting, I have never heard of that before or seen it at the track events here. Hopefully someone can help.

I've never heard of this. Seems dangerous if your arm is out the window. Seems like it wouldn't be DOT approved here in the USA. A hammer is a quick fix!

It sounds like your window calibration is off and anti-trap is going up instead of down. If this video doesn't help (he's in Euro, and not sure of model) see the dealer.
