Window Regulator 330xi

selp44 · 11-01-2011, 09:41 AM

I apologize for the thread. I found much on window regulators, specially on E46 models. But, the question I have is regarding whether my regulator has gone bad or is just the "clip" the one that went out, as seen on eBaY with item number: 170585117090.
on the Rear Left window, I was rolling it down and I heard what seemed a piece breaking and hitting the bottom of the window, as if a plastic piece had broken. The motor works, you can hear it trying to catch, but the window does not roll up. The same goes for the Rear Right, but I did not hear anything breaking, it just wont roll up. The case is both my rear windows are rolled down and living in Rice Town, Arizona (Tucson, AZ) is not safe to have those windows like that.
Thanks a lot

I'd pull the panel off the door and take a look chances are your regulators have failed. If you don't see a busted clip then it's time for a window regulators. We have both the genuine BMW as well as a lower cost aftermarket option available HERE.

HERE is a video showing how to replace the window regulator in the E90 to help you out.
