Re: <E34> Electrical Questions
Todd,
See answers in CAPS below.
<snip>
(1) The passenger's door will unlock the car when it is both central-locked
(normal) and double-locked, but it will not central-lock nor double-lock the car;
; it will only lock itself and nothing else. Electrical flaw or "safety
feature"?
I BELIEVE THAT IS AN ELECTRICAL FLAW. ON MY 1990 525I, BOTH PASSENGER AND
DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK WILL CENTRAL-LOCK, DOUBLE-LOCK, AND UNLOCK ALL DOORS.
(2) Does the engage-reverse-gear-passenger's-side-mirror-tilt-down feature work
in E34's of this year? Mine doesn't (1990 5-speed 535i).
I DON'T THINK THAT THE TILT-DOWN FEATURE WAS ON THE E34 IN 1990. IF IT WAS, IT
DOESN'T WORK ON MINE, EITHER. I DO KNOW THAT THE 7-SERIES HAD THE TILT-DOWN
FEATURE IN 1990.
(3) "If the windows or the sunroof have been left open with a convenience
function, they may be closed by holding the key in the lock position until they
have closed." What is a "convenience feature"? And, how can I tell if my car
has one? Doing the above closes neither the windows nor the sunroof, which all
open/close fine with the center console or door or roof switches.
NOT SURE ABOUT WHAT A "CONVENIENCE FEATURE" IS. I DO KNOW THAT YOU CAN CLOSE
ALL WINDOWS AND THE SUNROOF BY DOUBLE-LOCKING (TURNING THE KEY 90 DEGREES) AND
HOLDING THE KEY IN THE DOUBLE-LOCK POSITION. AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS, THE
WINDOWS AND SUNROOF WILL CLOSE.

If I can help with anything else, let me know. Good luck!
