    Default windows up key trick..??

    I know most of you guys probably know about this however.. My key cylinder was getting a little stiff so I grabed the PB blaster and lubed it up a bit. Started moving the key back and forththen the window started going up I dont know what I did to do this but if anyone knows.. Cough up the trick to do this..

    lol, hold the key in lock position and windows and sunroof close. hold it in unlock position and windows will open.

    I've had my car 2 months and i just realized the wipers slow down when you come to a stop.

    Once you turn your key clockwise to the double lock position, hold it in that position and the windows will go up and the sunroof will close provided they were opened. Very cool and convenient feature.

    .....I didn't know that you could open the windows that way. I thought it only worked for closing them. Thanks.

    its a super cool feature.

    i could do it on the e36 but i was ecstatic to learn my 16 year old e34 could do it too! Those germans, always ahead of the curve

    Default you can also change the wiper delay, it's in the manual somewhere.

    Yeh you are right. I was thinking about my gf's passat which both opens and closes using the key.

    This is how I set the intermittant wipers:
    1. turn wipers on to first position and then turn off right away
    2. after desired delay has passed turn wipers back on to first position
