E92 rear windows don't open

zamboni · 08-28-2006, 10:36 PM

Saw an E92 today and noticed you can't pop the rear windows unlike E46 it had that option.

This is a repost.

sorry for bumping a repost but the E46 rear window opening is nice feature.

However, the E-93 will have fully retractable rear windows. Of course, this is the hardtop convertible which will add some cost to the car.

OK, while this may be true, what's to discuss? Trying to raise awareness?

Phila · 08-29-2006, 02:39 PM

I didnt know the rear window didnt open, thanks for letting me know.
I was wondering, does the coupe have rear passenger controlled air conditioning like in the sedan?

Mods can we make this thread a sticky so everyone will know the e92 rear windows don't open?

To be able to open the rear windows, buy this:

They work extremely well, I always had one in my right bunker pant's pocket for rescue/extrications...

awesome. now if one of my rear passengers asks me if I can crack a window open for them i'll have an option.

Josh49 · 08-29-2006, 03:11 PM

To cleanly "open" the window, follow the same technique that we use when we want to remove the window adjacent to the victim:

Get a roll of duct tape and start making columns the entire length of the window. Work your way to the other side, making sure to overlap about 1/4 width of the tape. All glass needs to be covered with duct tape. Press all tape down. Make a loop or two sticking out, attached to other tape. This acts as a handle. Now use the tool shown above to "open window", while holding the duct tape handle. Usually two diagonally opposite corners does the trick... The whole window should then pull cleanly out and you're left with a shattered pane of tempered glass stuck to a layer of duct tape. If performed well, there virtually no glass bits will go into the car..

Hope this helps. Now everyone can open the windows on the e92.. Should be a great first mod..

i guess when bmw scrapped the 2+3 seating config for their 3 series coupe, they really figured very few people would bother to buy the car and actually carry rear passengers.
hence no need for rear opening(push open/ electric or manual) windows like e36 and e46 coupes.

Frosty · 08-29-2006, 10:49 PM

..I thought I heard somewhere that BMW had rattle / sound / other issues with teh power rear windows on hte previous generation coupe...true?
