| 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 origianl warranty (2003). the others have been at my cost. | |||

| The mechanism in power windows ( mechanical mechanism in the doors which raise and lower the windows ) appear to be faulty. after normal usage for a short period of time ( 3 weeks to a maximum of 6 months ) , there are repeated failures of the mechanical mechanism and power windows once again fail to function. although the issue at hand has been fixed by bmw numerous times ( some under warranty and some at owners cost) , it is a repeating problem and bmw service provider does not appear to have a solution which would resolve the issue for a long period of time. since the vehicle at this time is out of warranty and mostly driven by one driver ( me ), a greater use of ac is made in order not to use the power windows in case they will break once again. *tr | |||
