3 series models (E36) and notably the 318ti BMW automobiles have an extremely high failure rate for the window regulators. Its not uncommon to have to repair them annually at a cost of approx 300 dollars per door. The failure occurs without warning causing the window to jam, or fall inside the door. This is a well known documented problem among the owner community and reactions at dealers is "oh yea happens all the time." I propose this could present an egress issue in event of an emergency.
