They should give you a commission... I think I'm going to try those on the next window failure as I have not done the rear regulators as of yet.

Are regulators on the e70 a problem area as well?

Lol, I actually ordered it from Max at oembimmerparts.com It's a couple of bucks more that rockauto, but if there's ever a problem he will make it right.

My (wife's) E70 is a 2012, bought it CPO in 2015 with 24k miles coming off lease. I haven't touched any of the regulators yet and haven't heard any complaints. I did have the OFHG replaced under CPO warranty, so that issue is still around.

Seems like I tried those before and they failed but I would be willing to try one again for the heck of it. I'll stock a few and when needed use one of them next time.

Best Pro tip. Only time I use the window is to grab a parking ticket from the vending machine. Otherwise It's the AC when it gets hot.

Ditto. With that said, I'm on my 3rd window regulator on the driver side (2 OE and now Uro Premium - just replaced a year ago), 2nd regulator on the front passenger door (both OE), and original regulators in the rears (I'm the original owner). I will need to do the other 3 doors in the near future as they all make creaking noises everytime it's open. I tried to never open them all the way down to preserve them as long as I can.

You guys are hilarious. I worry very little about them and use them just as I would in any other vehicle. They are a service item if original. And if serviced, with the extra precaution mods, shouldn't need tending to again. Regulators are quick and easy, no cause for fret. Now Xover pipes, transmissions, etc. Those I sometimes worry about lol.
