I had been wondering about this as the front windows on my X6 seem noticeably slower than any of my previous cars. I was wondering if it was because I had them tinted and the tint was causing a drag against the rubber sealing strip on the inside, although I’ve had tinted windows on almost all of my cars for over 35 years and never had a problem before.

You really have to think that the "acoustic glass" would have to be different in some way and possibly causing this problem.

You would really have to think that you would actually read the posts/threads and put some thought into the situation before spouting off. The window speed is the same between the acoustic and non-acoustic glass. We all understand that you are here to troll and not have an adult conversation but try to be a little mature once and awhile since your schtick is getting old.

I’m wondering if there’s some innate benefit to these molasses motors. Maybe BMW did it for longevity purposes, assuming slower motors last longer. Or maybe they did it simply to ever-so-slighty reduce the power draw in some regulatory attempt to improve fuel efficiency and emissions by a few milliliters…

You could use the PM feature if you are in such disagreement with me. No need to resort to personal attacks.
I really doubt that I am the only guy on this forum who would question as to whether the thickness, coatings, etc., of the "acoustic glass" could contribute to this problem.

It is not a personal attack, just want to try and make sure anyone reading this thread does not take anything you say seriously. Folks like you that intentionally try and mislead/confuse people are a detriment to forums.

A suggestion: the forum has a user ignore feature and it's one of the very few actually useful management tools on this forum. This guy and quite a few others that you and others waste time and nerves on have been on my ignore list for a while (I noticed that many on my ignore list eventually get banned, interesting correlation). Only reason I see any drivel by them is quoting by others (thanks a lot, by the way) — otherwise it's Zen. Worth a shot, if not for your sake, then for mine.

Wish there was also a thread ignore feature …

BMW definitely went with slower motors for these new X5s and X6s. No acoustic glass here, but all the windows move very slow.

A very wise suggestion and one that I should follow. Just bugs me when "bad" information is presented, especially on purpose. Many folks come here to do some research and without knowing the history of certain posters they may be misled.

Sorry for bringing up postings you did not want to see.

Bugs me too, hence the use of the feature :-). It's like the HHGTTG Joo Janta 200 Super-Chromatic Peril Sensitive Sunglasses for forums.

OK. Exactly what "bad information" are you whining about?
I own a 2021 X5 M50i with no problems at this time and windows which raise and lower rapidly. Sorry if you are having a problem with yours.
Can't imagine why this would cause you such distress. Have you considered taking your X5 to a BMW dealer and having your problem rectified? Good luck.

Why am I not surprised. I have never mentioned my windows anywhere in this or any other thread as far as I know since I don't have a problem with them. Playing innocent is not your strong suit. You know darn well what you tried to do in this thread and many others you post in. There are valid reasons so many folks ignore you, have offline conversations about you and have reported you and your posts to the administrators. I really have to either follow LexxM3 's advice or this sign.

Not sure why you don't just PM me with your anger.
Glad to hear that your windows function normally as mine do.
I really can't imagine what you are so upset about. Sorry if I offended you in any way.

2020 G05, acoustic glass side to side. After extensive laboratory testing just now, mine averages 4.6s up and down, parked, button-push to motor stop. Seems plenty fast to me. And from the sound of the motor, I would suspect it wouldn't make any difference what kind of glass there was - it's gonna open or close. I didn't test the pinch feature, because if it didn't work it sounds like it will absolutely guillotine whatever's in there.

[hiki08]

So this is a thing! I better time mine next time hahaha

But yes, it's painstakingly slow compared with anything else I've driven (other than a hand-wound window... maybe), and sometimes misses my 'gesture' to close. Particularly annoying when I'm used to winding down the window 1 car space from reaching parking lot boom gates to collect a ticket, or at toll booths. End up sitting there waiting or awkwardly trying to reach my arm out of the window from the upper half of the window opening while it continues to wind down... sighs...

[thereef510]

i rarely open or close the windows except to get a parking ticket and such. I also noticed its very slow compared to my F15. But I'm never in that much of a rush to open or close the windows anyway. And the window motor makes this oddly satisfying sound that i've never heard in any other vehicle.

[dream54ing]

stopped on a red light next a car with an extremely attractive lady....

me: hi!!
attractive lady: cant hear you!
me: hold on let me roll down my window...
attractive lady: sorry, green light, bye!
me: dammit BMW!!!

[Ruyseart]

Mine is very slow too, although I got the acoustic glass too. It is a feature that surprised me the first times I experienced it, I was approaching a parking entrance, then I had to roll down the window like 100m before to not have to wait to get the ticket!

I have had 6 BMWs before this and is by far the slowest.

[maher]

They are actually slower than other BMW's I've had but I think it's reasonable. Don't forget it's also a big window so it might take a bit more time to close from end to end.

Yeah. We have a Bang and Olufsen Harmony TV and it also takes a little time to open its wings and to close. Drives my wife crazy! LOL. But it's supposed to be part of the overall drama and supposedly makes it more premium. The panel itself is just an LG, but the mechanism is pretty 😎
