Thanks for following up with the answer.

Can you be more specific on the part that failed, "regulator anchor piece"? I once had a failure of the plastic collar with a spring around it that attaches the cable end to the thing that holds the motor. The result of that breaking was that the cable had way more slop that it was supposed to. The failure was due to cheap, weak, brittle plastic on that China brand regulator. Was that the part that failed for you?

Also, was the regulator BMW-brand? Original?
