Using both windows blows fuse

Pretty much whats stated in the title....every time I try using both windows at the same time the fuse ends up blowing (#14?) and im stuck with open windows...

I knew about the problem when I first got the car and just learned to do one at a time, but last night a friend of mine did it again (hasnt happened for a few months now) and I figured I should probably look into it as it is kind of an annoying problem.

Anyways I was hoping someone here might know something about it while I go buy some new fuses...

Have you verified that the proper fuse is in that location? Having a fuse that is 5 amps to small can result in the fuse blowing.

I was just looking online (http://wedophones.com/Manuals/BMW/19...g%20Manual.pdf) and it seems that I need 30A for #14....the mechanic I had got the car from said just leave the 15A to be safe

I should really try to find my own manual...but this is correct then? I need to stick a 30A fuse in there?

yes, that's probably the problem, a lower amperage fuse will blow easier
