Thanks for this writeup. My window regulator (driver's front 2008, #51337165595) broke last night.
A note on price. I went to bmwofsouthatlanta for the price and it showed "list $164 / your price $147." No big deal, I thought, I'll just pick one up at the local dealer.
Went to the parts counter this AM, girl verified the part #, had the part in stock, gets it, says "ok great, that'll be $254, pay the cashier." This had me dumbfounded - I said what, I checked the price before I came in online, I thought it was $165? After 5 minutes of debate, someone else behind the desk said "no, that's the wholesale list price, we could give you that price but only if you had a tax certificate and paid by company check"
The lowest my local dealer was willing to go was 10% off or about $225. FORGET THAT. Ordered online from their parking lot, $160 shipped to my door and I expect it here tomorrow.
