How to disable the auto window down feature

Hey Guys,

Is there some way to disable to auto window down feature? I just saw a thread where people were using this feature to break into cars and want to disable it...any ideas?

Thanks!

PS. This is the feature where you hold the unlock button for some amount of time and they roll down. Not when you open close the door and they move down slightly.

Old thread but just to offer clearfication -

Thieves are not using the "Remote roll down" feature to break in to cars, they use the "turn and hold the key cylinder to the unlock" position feature. This can be disabled by removing the power window switches and clipping the wire that runs between the power window switch and the key cylinder. It is a good idea to install a small push button switch in there so that you can still disable the OEM alarm if your keyfob dies.

old post but damn, great info. Thank you. When I'm ready to off my BMW, I'll put instructions on the window with ever so small tape that will blow off, and keebler cookies on the dash... never to the G though.
