Frameless windows - why?

[MikeM6]

Do any of the BMW GranCoupé models have frameless windows? So the 2 and 4 series GC etc.

My 640d GC has frameless doors.

Like other BMWs if you press the unlock button on the remote twice the windows retract half way down on opening the door, to make getting in easier in tight spaces - and also perhaps to avoid mashing your glasses

They all do. 2, 4, 6 and 8.

Tesla Model 3 has frameless windows and I’m sure you’re get a folding chair in the boot.

Apparently one of the GM VP's wife used to driver her convertible round with the top up, but the windows down, back in the late 40s, early 50s. This led to the idea of a car with no B pillar. I have a 4 door pillarless mid 60s yank tank; tbh I prefer the styling of the 'post' car of the same year. It leaks in the rain a little, apparently they just about all did this new from the factory.
