Does the M2C have proximity sensors in the door handles so that the windows move down ready for opening before the door actually starts opening.

I read somewhere that BMW's have that. As you approach, the lights turn on and everything gets ready before you even touch the handle. I cannot determine if the M2C has this, or if it's reserved for the super spendy Bimmers.

The one I tried didn't. When you open the doors quickly, the window is still dropping by the time you drag it past the outer seal so it sort of wobbles/spang a bit. I open it steadily, and it's fine when you do that. My old E36 coupe was also the same and that was not a common problem area.

Porsche Boxsters have a microswitch in the door handle - you lift the handle part-way, the window drops, then you open the door. But even with the microswitch, open the door quickly and it still does the spang thing.

That a shame, would be a nice feature. However, it could be a troublesome thing too.
