Does anyone reckon they are compromised in their functionality, there is just up and down movement with this item as such ....or else i buy new ones

On my LF door it was a part on the window regulator that broke. On my RF door the same part on the regulator broke and one of the black clips that attach the glass to the regulator broke. In both cases I replaced the regulators and clips. The motors were fine. I used BMW regulators because I plan to drive the car for a long time.
While you're in the door cavity you may want to consider replacing the door handle carriers if you haven't already. I've had to replace both LF and RF. Same failure on both in the same location. I believe they are cast aluminum and will crack eventually. I recommend going with genuine BMW on these as well.
