As to regulators, I like to just buy them used and pair them with new window clips, sliders, and do the zip tie mod. Hasn't failed me yet. I just checked on my DS regulator and the clip and zip tie are working perfectly. Went ahead and re-lubricated with teflon spray to aid in longevity.

I bought magnet marelli for the rear window. Rarely use rear one's so it will probably last long time.

Yeah, here you go. E46 zip tie fix.
I do it preventatively with new sliders. Keeps the little metal clamp piece in the area it's supposed to sit.

I'm upgrading to double pane windows on all of the doors and it would probably be a good idea to change the clips.
I dont think I would change power window regulators and motor proactively on all doors, especially the rear one. They barely even get used. This would be too expensive especially with OEM parts. Has anyone tried these clips from fcpeuro? https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...-51338254781-1 |

I replaced those clips on mine with a new regulator. There's at trick to update them for support. Basically, reverse them and install bigger plastic screw clips. The larger clips are license plate inserts. I used this guy's hack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwFFd7OJGaI

Don't forget to trim the black clips. I used wire cutters to snip off a bit.
