Unless you can just ignore that sound, you should pull the panel and inspect everything while the window travels up and down. You will probably see where it is binding and what part busted. Those little plastic things break easily, but are cheap...that's why they used them.
When you look at the bushing that holds the glass to the carrier, you will see that an eighth of an inch of plastic is all that keeps the window aligned, and that if that breaks or becomes loose, the window will not travel straight up the guides because the window is concave.

Thanks for the reply......I reckon it is just a clip or a loose bolts as you say, the wire part of the mechanism has yet to be mangled and twisted as when that happened on our e46 the window would just not wind up at all and took alot of manual labor to close it until repair-either way VERY disappointing that the plastic bits are so flimsy on this and other modern beamers
