Electric power windowsTo open and close the windowsFrom ignition key position 1:
>Depress the rocker switch 1 until you
feel resistance:
The window remains in motion for as
long as you maintain pressure on the
switch
>Briefly press rocker switch 1 to just
beyond the initial point of resistance
(one-touch mode):
The window automatically remains in
motion until it reaches the end of its
travel. Briefly press the switch a
second time to stop the window.
The one-touch mode cannot be
used to close the passenger-side
window.<520de015
Use switch 2 to select the window you
wish to open or close:
>Driver's window
Push the switch all the way to the left
>Passenger-side window
Push the switch all the way to the
right
>To activate both windows at the
same time:
Move the switch to the center posi-
tion.
The switch on the passenger-side door
activates the window for that side only.
After the ignition has been switched off:
Provided that no door is opened in the
intervening period, the electric power
windows remain available for operation
for up to 15 minutes. Because the power windows are
sealed at high pressure to prevent
wind noise when closed, a powerful
motor is required for efficient closing.
When closing the windows, always
ensure that they are not obstructed in
any way. Unsupervised use of these
systems can result in serious personal
injury. Remove the ignition key to deac-
tivate the electric power windows
whenever you leave the vehicle. Never
leave the keys in the vehicle with unsu-
pervised children.
Never place anything that could
obstruct the driver's vision on or next to
the windows.<
To use the convenience mode via the
door lock or the remote control, refer to
page 32 or 34.

Mirrors Vehicle Memory, Key MemoryThe mirror switches to its clear,
undimmed mode whenever you shift
into reverse.
For trouble-free operation, keep the
photocells clean and do not cover the
area between the interior rearview
mirror and the windshield. Do not
attach any kind of stickers on the wind-
shield in front of the mirror, either.
For a more detailed explanation of the
electrochromatic technology used in
this mirror, please refer to page 153.
The conceptNo doubt you have reflected at one
time or another on how great it would
be if you could permanently configure
your vehicle's various features and
adjustments to mirror your own indi-
vidual preferences. In developing the
Z8, BMW has incorporated a number of
options for personal adjustment that
can be programmed into your vehicle
by your BMW center.
The available configuration data fall into
two categories, according to whether
their primary orientation is the vehicle
("Vehicle Memory") or the individual
("Key Memory"). Provided that each
person has a separate remote-control
key, you can have your BMW center
enter adjustment data for as many as
four different individuals into the
system.
The system then relies on a bilateral
data exchange to identify the individual
user and dial in the selected settings
whenever the remote-control unit is
used to disengage the door locks.
What the system can doYour BMW center can provide you with
details on the capabilities of the Vehicle
Memory and Key Memory systems.
Below a few examples:
A Vehicle Memory sampler:
>Various signals to confirm release
and engagement of the vehicle's
locks.
>Activate/deactivate the "Follow me
home" lamps.
A Key Memory sampler:
>Engage vehicle locks as soon as the
vehicle is underway.
At various points throughout this
Owner's Manual you will find this
symbol, indicating that the equipment
or system described in the adjacent
section can be preset for automatic
adjustment using the Vehicle or Key
Memory.<
