With the OEM window regulator being only $150 at dealer, if my sliders ever go bad, I'd probably get a brand-new OEM regulator b/c I know it lasts some 100K miles.

I bought a pair of "slider clips" from
RegulatorFix.com - They are sitting on my workbench with a pair of black "window clips" ready to go in my existing regulators which have not failed (I am trying to be preventative). My impressions looking at them is they are very beefy and heavy duty and should probably outlast the car. If I ever needed another regulator I would probably swap them on there.
The pulley/cable assembly does go bad as well but it is my opinion that these slider and window clips are the major wear items requiring replacement of the regulator.
Will post in your thread if its ok cn90, when I do the job with some pictures and impressions - regarding the replacement of the slider clips with the new black plastic clips from BMW
