problem #2

The window regulator (I.e., the mechanical mechanism in the doors which raises and lowers the windows) appears to be faulty. I have replaced the regulators 6 times since 2000. These are repeated failures: The right front window regulator has failed twice (2003 and 2009); the left front regulator has failed twice (2003 and 2011); the left rear has failed once (2008) and the right rear has failed once (2007). BMW only covered the failures under the original warranty (2003). The others have been at my cost.

All four window regulars needed to be replaced. Some of them were making noise (found broken pieces inside during repair) and some windows got stuck half open. Dealer estimated $600/- per window to replace the regulators. I had it fixed outside for $250/- per window, total cost $1000/-. dealer indicated the issue was caused because of Texas hot weather. I guess we need to keep the car in air condition. This part is faulty and BMW should recall it.
