Power windows E60, E61, E63, E64: Introduction

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 21 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW Z4, 2006 BMW M3, 2006 BMW M Roadster, 2006 BMW M Coupe, and 2006 BMW 550i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The power windows for raising and lowering the side windows are designed as a cable lift drive.

The power windows for the front doors are controlled by the door modules (driver's door module TMFA and front-passenger door module TMBF). The power windows for the rear doors are controlled by the body basic module (KBM).

> From 09/2005

The door modules are discontinued. The power windows on the front doors are actuated by the body gateway module (KGM).

For more information, refer to SYSTEM OVERVIEW OF POWER WINDOWS: E60, E61, E63, E64 .

The E63 has no power windows at the rear.

On the E64 the rear power windows have no anti-trap circuit. The rear power windows can also not be operated from the rear seat area.

The Car Access System (CAS) controls the enabling and locking of the power window actuation depending on:

Terminal status
Status of door contacts
Country-dependent coding

In addition, the convenience operation of the power windows (convenience opening/closing) is controlled by the CAS control unit.
