Not necessarily true. It's dependent on the market and possibly on
key/memory programming. I've had UK 4-door and 2-door E46s that have closed
the windows if you keep the lock button pressed for a few seconds. Four-door
models close all the windows, two-doors only close the front windows.

The car is a UK M3, Opening the door and holding the button opens the
windows but locking the car and holding the center button does not shut them

In that case you might talk to your dealer about the Car Memory programming.
"Convenient Locking RC" and "Convenient Opening RC" are separate options on
my 2004 car, both set to the factory default of Active. If they're both
available on your car perhaps "Locking" has been set to Not Active. On a
newly-supplied car the dealer should reprogram the Memory at no charge, so
have a good look at the other available options if you haven't already done
so..

The US models have it disabled.. Euro models should have it enabled.

I can close all windows and sunroof using the key itself
(but not the remote). This is a Canadian E46 sedan. It
certainly saves getting back in, turning the key on, and
enjoying the seatbelt warning while closing the forgotten
window with the switch.
Just hold the key in the lock position until everything shuts.

The KEY or the key fob? The key will close the windows, turn the lock and
hold it. The key fob won't close the windows.

Correct, but it won't close remotely. There is a risk you will close
the window while not seeing it and getting someone stuck or worse.
BMW does not want to be liable for it.

Does on my UK car. Opens and closes them. Try holding the button down
after the locks have opened.

Did on my fob - hold lock button down and after locking, windows wound up
as well...
