Windows Rolling Down

I thought maybe I leaned against the FOB and accidentally held down the open button, which will roll the windows down. I didn't think much of it, just blew it off as a fluke.

1 week later, now it's happened a 2nd time good thing I took my dog out late last night, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed it. It's been raining here quite a bit, I would hate to awake to a car filled with water!!

Anyone have this problem? I read somewhere on a BMW form that the 135i or 335i has something similar.

Windows and sunroof open this morning ??? - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (M1 / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

They are saying one MUST depress the key fob for a certain period of time in order to windows go down. Tomorrow morning, maybe do some self tests yourself? (i.e holding the open button for 5-10 secs, may be?)

Maybe they are auto locking after a certain time. Ok, so I need to do some more research on this, if it is me, I need to have this feature turned off somehow, especially if it's happened twice in 1 week.
