Rear window regulator / High mileage PM?
window. Big popping sound and window fell down into door, won't operate. I assume broken regulator. I went to this very helpful site and saw the info on removing door panel. I have done all recommended and the rear panel seems stuck about the door handle. I did see and remove the screw in door handle area, removed the rear quarter window shade. Any suggestions? What do you think broke? The cables, the window clips?? I had my driver door window go a couple years ago. It was a pulley cable that separated. Now they use a solid pulley to eliminate that one. BTW, I have 113,000 on my X5. I drive a lot of freeway here in FL so hoping to run this machine over 200K. I've done the sparkplugs, radiator fluid, and always change oil / filter at 10,000 miles with synthetic. What about ATF fluid? I see it recommended here, how much does it take and approx cost? Is is DIY?? Thanks all Tom

Welcome to X5World! :welcome:
This happened to me a few months ago on the rear passenger side window. I do remember having a hard time getting the panel off at the door handle. If I recall correctly, I tilted the panel counterclockwise, played with it a bit, and it finally popped off.  There's a metal clip there behind the door handle that is tough to unhook.Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance. All the best, Zach

thanks for input
I shut the door with the door release cable unhooked from handle.
Now I can't get the door open! I guess this is time for help from a shop! Any ideas? I guess you have to try to pull on the black T ended cable to release door, so far too hard to grab! over.........

I had the same issue last week
I head the same pop on the drivers door...definately the regulator. I spent $380 at the deal but now the part has a two year replacement from BMW. It might be worth it to bite the bullet and hit the local dealer....talk about a pain in the kiester!

I got a $100 labor and $95 part from a local Power Window specialist shop.
I hate that price let alone $380! Can't open door with exterior door handle either......... I guess I'll have a 75% accessible car for now! TG

Window
Please when I heard $380 I threw up in mouth considering I purchased an extended warranty, but guess which part of the window was not covered. If you said the regulator...you are a winner. Vanna please show our contestants what they have won!
If it would have been stuck in the up position I would have shopped it but since it was a Sat morning and this happened on a Friday nite....I paid the pipper.
