Part received NOT exactly as shown (See Pic received the silver version instead of Black), but i still tried it and its was closest replacement, Easy replacement to my BMW E90 . Technically it does the Job. quality is like what you expect from a after market, the plastic quality which holds the heavy glass is very weak as compare to the OEM

Everything fit perfect. No new bolts needed like a lot of reviews on the other products said. Quick and easy install if you follow a youtube video.

The regulator looks to be well made but it is not an exact replacement fit for my E90 (2006 330i) rear passenger side door. There are two differences. One is not an issue - the bolts that hold the motor to the regulator are not OEM but they provide a replacement set that work. The second is a larger issue. The E90s have a foam bumper mounted by two screws on the door on the left side of the motor/regulator. The OEM regulator's wires run at 180 degrees from the bottom which has the wires running parallel to the bumper. This replacement part's wires run at about 220 degrees which means that the bumper is now interfering with the bottom wire. I was able to reuse the bumper's top screw but had to make a new hole for the bottom screw - in other words, the bumper is not sitting in its original position. The window operates fine but because of the design difference, the bumper did not fit back into its original position. I have replaced this regulator before and had no issue with the first replacement - from a different manufacturer.

Go find the Youtube videos and you'll be in business. Verify that it fits your car - in my case E91 Wagon, 2007 328xi. Use a plastic prying tool or a screwdriver wrapped in tape to lift up the faux wood trim, remove two torx screws in armrest. Gently pry off plastic trim over door pull, remove one more torx screw. Starting from bottom of door gently pry and then pull door panel away. Disconnect speaker. Gently pry switch out, disconnect, set door panel and switch aside after disconnecting door latch - it's like a bicycle brake cable. Remove weather guard foam jawn, use a knife, that adhesive will make black snot string a mile long if you're not careful. Loosen three 10mm nuts holding regulator in. Remove three torx screws holding motor to regulator. Disconnect wiring harness from motor, set aside. Push on the plastic clip that the glass is sitting in with a screwdriver, lift glass up, weave the old broken regulator out of the door. Weave the new regulator in, use the nuts to hold it loosely. Snap the glass firmly into the clip. Reinstall the motor. Tighten everything. Connect up the switch, test. Disconnect switch, put weather jawn back. Put door panel back, take your time. You might need to reset the window safety switch settings, use the Google. Good luck, you can do this. Total time - under an hour. My cost under $40, dealer/garage $300 - $350.

OE Replacement BMW Rear Passenger Side Door Glass Regulator for my 2009 BMW 328i works great. My sure your have all the right tools to replace it which thanks to YouTube I had on hand. Instructions were a little lacking and getting the window to snap into place was a minor challenge. You can't really see the very well in the door area but not impossible. Please wear knee pads as the concrete in unforgiving, lol. I had to replace a part on the regulator with a part from the older one because it snapped very easily. Once I overcame all that it works great.

Highly recommend. Easy to install and seems to be high-quality built (although not OEM). It also came around 5 days earlier than expected delivery date so was I very happy about that! 10/10

Purchased this for a 2006 BMW 325i (E90), for right rear window. I heard a Pop sound one day and my window would stay open. Looked on Youtube for installation instructions since this part did not come with any directions. Taking off the door trim and panel is a bit harder than replacing the window regulator, which is to say it is straightforward and relatively easy to do. My old regulator cable snapped and it then got caught up in the gearing. (You will need a Torx 20 bit/driver, a 10 mm socket, and something non-marring to pry the door trim, panel). The window motor was in good condition.

As another person mentioned, using the old rubber cushion where the window rests may help "seat" the window to the regulator since it is already indented. The tolerance is pretty tight and it is very important that the window clips into the regulator.

I had to do a reset for the window, but now everything works like a charm. Just like new! I give it 4 stars because of zero instructions provided with the part.

How much does it cost to replace a BMW window regulator?

How do I know if my window regulator needs replacing?
