Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel, and welcome to another video with my little BMW E82 1 series.
In this video, I will be carrying out a replacement of the window regulator in the front passenger side window due to failure of the original.
What happened on this particular car was that when the door opened, the window, instead of dropping ever so slightly as you would expect on the coupe models, it dropped all the way down! Once at it's lowest position, it then wouldn't come back up and sounds of breaking cable could be heard within the inside of the door.
Upon removal of the doorcard, it was obvious what had happened. Thankfully the window motor was in fine, working order.
As you will see, replacement of this part is relatively straightforward with a little mechanical knowledge and should be within the abilities of most.

The link to the exact regulator that I purchase for my car can be found at a very reasonable price from the link below.

Just lost my regulator today. Thanks! This is a excellent overview. Looking forward to the job now.

Very good narrative for replacing the regulator--many thanks! I just did this on my 2008 128i Convertible, and I have two observations: (1) I had trouble fitting the glass into the channel inside the door and toward the front of the car. If you first insert the glass into the visible channel ABOVE the door, then guide it into the door progressively front to back, it seems to fit much more readily (for me, anyway). (2) There is a fair amount of adjustment available for the glass when mounted on the regulator. I got a very good fit by lifting the glass up and toward the rear before tightening the thumbwheels (or whatever they are). Thanks again!

A little hint. Just did the job using this guide. That starwheel which hold window in place, on the end of the stub there is inner Torx 20, on the left side you can get in with the key, and on the right side you can use small ratchet if you lower window enough - there is a cut out :-) it helped a lot with tightening as you can really feel how tight you are making it.

Top tip for those hand wheels. I've seen other methods and this is by far the easiest. Tackling this today on mine 👍

Just what I needed - excellent video - Thank you! - especially liked how you got the 2 wheels off using a hammer and punch - exactly what I did right before I found your video. I have to admit I was cringing with every hit of the hammer expecting the glass to crack but it worked to loosen them up and get them off

Hi, my window doesn't stick to the seals and is tilted to the side so that it is not closed, do you have any tips how to set it in correct position?

I have a e81 oddly the window works ect, but I've noticed it doesn't sit true/square would you say it's the runner or is it adjustable ? But being a 3dr I've noticed the glass often catches the Piller trim

Hi, Kev. Do you happen to know the part number for the left rear regulator for the E87?

Hello,does anyone know where to look at if when i open the door it looks like the window drop is too late? and when closing window fully or when closing door,the window hits its place with sharp click sound somewhere.. Can it be the star nut is a little loose making a window somewhere loose too with all these sounds?
@SourceEastAnglia

After watching it looks like i may just need to realign it with the b pillar (using the star) screws

I can never understand why the Germans though going to a cable from a slider was a good idea....production costs I guess... Had one go "twang" on my A6, was a nightmare to repair ...
