Wake Up to Open Windows / Open Sunroof

Ok, hopefully someone can shed some light on this. Twice now (on two seperate occasions) I've found my Clubman with the windows down and the sunroof open without my knowledge. Both times I've parked the car in garage for the evening, had everything closed (not locked), and then following morning find it with windows down and the sunroof open.

Using the remote I've tried to hold the unlock and/or lock button to see I can can recreate the situtation but to no prevail. Any ideas?

This is something that has happened to others. Your dealer should know about this problem & have a fix for it. Sorry I do not remember what the fix is.

It is a feature of the car that you can pop open the sunroof and roll down the windows by pushing and holding the unlock button on the key for a couple of seconds, it's for venting the car on hot days.

I've had this happen, my key was in my pocket and the unlock button got pushed and held accidentally while carrying groceries to the house. This could also happen if you sit down within range of the transmitter, with the key in your pocket.

When this happen in my r53, I tracked it down to the key in my wifes purse...it got button pushed in by something when it got set down...the end results, everything opened as intended....
I know on gen1 mini's, if you pressed, and held one or 2 of the buttons, everything would open, as a convience. I guess it would help you let out hot air as you walked across the parking lot towards the car...
Funny thing is quite a few folks sat the wrong way with tight pants, or like me, had the 2nd key open everything, and if it was raining...even worse, all night...disaster!!

Sure enough; I guess I wasn't holding down the unlock long enough.
CRAP! Gotta make sure I'm not pushing on the key-fob now on...
