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. *nm |
