It isn't US regulation, but it very likely is fear of US litigation.

Down south. we are able to close any open item on the X be keeping the lock button depressed (roof/windows). Our keys are recoded for this feature. I`m still not sure why this can not be standard in the States.

Cheers,

Just tried locking my X and the windows/sunroof close using the OEM key remote. This is a UK spec car..but the controlling software can't be too different. Its got to be worth asking a dealer if its a function they can enable in the US - i'm sure they'll have you signing a disclaimer!

Parag from TVonNav was working on an e53 version of their iWindows product, but I'm not sure where it stands at the moment - http://tvonnav.com/iwindows.html
On my European X5 I can open and close windows via the oem remote.Not Auto,I have to keep pressing the remote to open/close but as soon as I stop pressing ,the window opening/closing will stop!I believe that in the past you could do it automatically(full closing/opening by just pressing once),but there was an accident with a child and this feature correctly was disabled.
