| Description of the problem | This is the third window i have had that rolls down then suddenly breaks and won't roll up. When i google it i see many other bmw 325i car owners e46 between 2001 and 2006 having the same problem and it is obviously a known weak spot in these cars that should have been recalled and the manufacturer should be told they have to pay for the repairs and reimburse us. My back seat is never used so those back windows are never used and it happened with the back window - it happened with both the front windows - one at a time and every time it is very expensive to fix. |
