I don't know of a way to prevent slamming, other than training the users. It comes down to user error. OK, maybe thay should be more robust, but the only thing in your control at this point is the user.

Note that you don't need the windows all the way up to protect the regulators, they just can't be all the way down. Put them up a few inches, and the window is held more firmly, preventing damage to the regulator. This isn't just a BMW issue, it applies to any window regulator.
