I'm just curious, how the passenger in the front is supposed to open or close the window? With a left hand? Or is there some trick to squeeze his/her hand through the door handle to reach the button?

Good point. Now that you mention it Since I always drive I hadnīt thought about that yet. Maybe the BMW engineers share my problem: Never in the passenger seat and a "sit down, buckle up and shut up" attitude towards the passenger
This is taking driver orientation too far. Making the passenger window knob inaccessible so the passenger has to ask the driver to open his window...

Doesn't the passenger have her own window switch on the passenger door?

Yes. But its hidden behind the handle to close the door. Really silly layout. The driver side has a different layout.

That is an odd design. The driver's side looks like is has no handle in the bmwusa pics, which makes sense. Plus, the backseat window switches are closer to the passenger, so that it is not awkward. Whoever designed the front passenger door was on something. I do like tierfreund's response: "Maybe the BMW engineers share my problem: Never in the passenger seat and a "sit down, buckle up and shut up" attitude towards the passenger." That's how it should be

Why whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy on earth could they not leave well enough alone?? I really wish some fool at BMW can tell me why they did that.
They had the perfect (and most driver orientated) setup in many prior generations.
