Hey Guys,
I could not write a new thread, but given an E87 (5 dr hb) 08 numberplate. My rear windows are working normally (both levels when pressing gives the waited functions) but both sides on front are not. They only going down by inches, and only if I press-release/press-release. No auto-down or auto-up, no one-touch. I’ve bought an other window regulator with motor, and yesterday we wanted to swap them, but when we just plugged it on, it was behaving exactly the same, so deffo no problem with the original regulator/motor. One of my mates been here with computer (working for the automotive company) and said, that theres no error code for windows in the system, but the window error light comes on at ignition. Any ideas what to do? I dont really want to take it in to BMW garage cos they’ll take my pants away as well as my wallet |

So just to clarify for the simple minded. The cog shaped problem fixing is a left handed thread ? So looking at it from the 'top', (hidden side in the car), you'd turn clockwise to unscrew ?

I just did this the other week and had a note to add when adjusting the window. I did it with the door closed and was able to apply pressure up on the window from underneath (inside the door) and tighten the window bolts using the torx T20 on the end of the shank through 2 access holes towards the top of the door (sorry I forgot to take a picture). Once properly aligned and tightened as much as I could with the torx, I lowered the window back down to get more leverage and do a final tighten using an allen wrench on the head side.

removing the star cog
after breaking a few bits i found out the best way to remove the hex headed cog bolt. using a pair of channellocks is the best way to go about this and not break tools or scream and cus.

Window regulator repair kit available
I replaced the drivers door regulator in the wife's 125i around 12 months ago and a week ago had the drivers window 'drop' in my 135i. Rather than buying a complete regulator I managed to track down a repair kit from automotoparts.eu see https://www.automotoparts.eu/en/sear...r=search&s=e82
The kit cost me 36 euro which worked out at least a quarter the best price I could get for a new regulator and was delivered in around a week. I figured why fork out for a new regulator when the problem was caused by the failure of one cable? (sort of regretted that while I was trying to do the repair though). Without the aid of any DIY's on cable replacement it took a bit of time to figure it out. Finally worked out a few tricks to tension up the two 'springed' cables that attach the motor drive pulley and now have the old regulator back together with new kit cables, springs and drive pulley. Will be putting the regulator and window back in the morning but will write up a DIY on the cable replacement if anyone is interested. Armed with the knowledge I now have, it should not take much more than 30 minutes to install the kit so it is a worthwhile alternative to a new regulator considering the cost. |

135i window regulator
So I've been looking for a good diy on how to replace my window regulator step by step. I see this is a good worded one. But anyone else not seeing the photos on here?
Anyone know where I can find a good step by step? I'm pretty hand and will figure it out one way or another. But it would be helpful if there was a nice diy

No Dice for me..... The rear cog came out easy, but the front will not budge.
