My 04' 530i has these minor issues that is annoying me ever so often. I am pondering wheather to make an appointment at the dealership. I am afraid if they try to fix it and it ends up possibly making it worst. From my pervious understanding, taking a car to the dealership is a last resort. These are my occassional annoyances:

1. one touch windows on passenger and driver will not roll up all the way with one touch. It wil go up half way and then goes back down. Currently I will have to hold the button until it goes all the way up...not always but often enough.

2. Both of my key fobs have problems unlocking the trunk at the first push of the button. I will have to hold it down for about 5-7 secs or push it constantly until trunk opens. (very annoying when hands are full)

....are these electical issues common for the 04' year???

on a side note: the Communication function on the i-drive says to contact dealer for assistance. I do not currently have a blue tooth phone, but incase I do get one in near future....does it cost extra to have the dealer activate this function? Is this function standard on all e60 vehicles? as it stands now, that function does nothing for me...is there anything else about that communication function, beside the bluetooth?


All feedback is appreciated,

Joe from San Diego.
