IIRC BMW used the scissor system in the E36 chassis. Those regulators fail if you look at them funny (also usually due to broken sliders/clips FWIW).
If you ever have to replace an e53 regulator... I'd buy a used OEM regulator w/ or w/o motor and add new clips and sliders to it, plus the "zip tie" mod for good measure. All in should be ~ $50 and will most likely never have to mess with that regulator again. New sliders and clips pro-actively will
almost always prevent failure of the regulator.
