FWIW those of us without comfort access can close all our windows and doors too. But here in the US we have to use the little physical key in the electronic key fob. IOW BMW wants us to be in physical contact with the X5 to avoid liability for anyone who might get hurt by a closing window etc.

Funny you mention this, apparently in Europe you can open and close all windows from key fob, but I guess it was too risky for US market. I did a European Delivery on my 330i and the person presenting the car to me was so confused that windows would not close when holding down the lock button on the fob. He though there was something wrong with the car, so he called over his boss who confirmed that for US market cars this was disabled.
