| Description of the problem | Like many others who have reported this problem, this will be my third time replacing a window regulator in my 2002 bmw 325i. The month after i purchased this vehicle i had to replace the front driver's side window regulator, and a few months later i had to replace the front passenger side window regulator. This time i am replacing the regulator on the back driver's side window. This is not an inexpensive repair. It's about $400 plus per window. Someone needs to investigate this and provide a reimbursement to the consumer (me). Hopefully the next repair will be covered by bmw. I'm sure the back passenger side window regulator will most likely be next. |
