To me, this (while it may save a bit of weight) always seems cheap. My wife's 2014 Mini Cooper is the same way, and every time I shut the door, I shudder at the thought of what it does to the window motor. Already, BMW is not known for their skill at making window motors/mechanisms. It just seems cheaply made, and it annoys me.

Have you been living in a cave for the last 25 years?
Frameless windows had always been a design feature on a BMW coupe for as long as I can remember. I was driving a E36 318i sedan as my first car and secretly wished than I had the 318is because of the frameless window design.
I find the windows motor mechanism on the 1M miles better than anything I had owned in the past, frame or frameless. The car is now fours years old and the window mechanism is still solid and so far no adjustment is required yet.
