Did you know ....
I was surprised none of my MB owners friends know about this nice little feature that came with the car.
Our remote key can roll up / roll down all the windows and at the same time can open and close the sunroof.

i knew about it, but i've noticed that you can only get the windows to go down if you previously had either closed the windows or sunroof with the remote while locking. if i go out to my car and everything is closed up it doesn't seem to work.

Maybe 1997 was different
I think either something is wrong, or that feature in 1997 works differently. Just now with everything closed up in the "normal manner" after holding the unlock button for a few seconds the driver's door unlocked (programmed that way) and the windows and sunroof opened.

I knew about the feature, I don't recall who showed it to me though...I think with most of the older models if you put the key in the door and hold it as far as it will turn right/left it works the same as the remote key.

my mother has a 95 525i and it does the same thing with hers. Maybe its another feature that they decided to get rid of when they updated to the newer models.

Our '97 Maxima had this feature to let the interior cool down in the summer. The windows only rolled down though, they didn't roll back up with the remote.

i've always known the car had this feature but had never tried to use it.
so you just push down on the unlock button and hold it for windows & moonroof to open, and you push down and hold lock to close everything?

About every 6 months someone posts about this feature. Must be about the time ones gets bored and reads the owners manual from cover to cover. I just like that if I forget to close the sun roof panel after I got out of the car, I can do it with the remote while locking the doors.
