Hey Guy's,
I just picked up my new M3 Sport GT about 1 month ago and was wondering if I was the only one that thought that the window controls are too far away on the door.
I ask this because I find myself always rolling down my back windows by mistake when I do it without looking.
Is it possible to reverse the controls???
I's driving me crazy
:loco

I think you'll get used to it eventually. If it's really bothering you, just turn on the child lock. That'll stop you from controlling the back ones by accident. :)

Haha...I happen to do that as well. Always gets the rear windows instead of the front.

lol ALL the time this happens to me.
If I need to pull down the window to talk to anyone I accidentally roll down the back window and they always look at me funny.

im having the same experience and most of the time when i go through drive-thru, its embarrasing...i guess the mazda engineers had the wrong data on anthropometrics on this particular one :)...i never had this problem with my old car...
like WW said, the way im correcting this is turning on the child lock :)

+1 on rolling down the rear windows, but eh.. every car has little things that are wrong with it.
the trick is to find the one that is most bearable.

that's my exact point! They put like brail on the button, so people wouldnt have this problem ;)
I won't lie, it has happened to me once or twice, where i pull into security at my work, and I have rolled down the back driver side window.
All the security guard said was "smooth"
taught me to feel for the brail!
