it sounds like you need to take the door panel off and fit the latch back into the handle. It isn't too hard, there are instructions on doing this I believe under the window regulator DIY on the home page.
be sure to post some pics of that 3.3 I'm sure we're all anxious to see

Unfortunately the only way to know which piece broke is to take the door panel off and remove the vapor barrier to see in there... You can use this DIY window regulator link (pdf file) for the r&i instructions of the door panel, and be extra careful with the vapor barrier removal and resealing, as if it tears it could let rain water into the cabin. And have the window up to allow access to the latch.
Of course only do this if you are comfortable with it mechanically, otherwise its to a repair shop... http://www.xoutpost.com/attachments/x...rocedure_2.pdf.

You shouldn't have a problem with the X's door panels. The only door panels to not act right on BMW's is the E36's. I never have a problem with door panels on X5's.

Just from the fact you had to epoxy them back together half the time... then the leather would peel in some places. As good as a car as the E36 was, it was the least "German" and most "Jap" of all the BMW's fit and finish wise.
