driver window won't roll up !?$#
 

Things just won't stop breaking on my X :) Rolled my driver side window down all the way and heard a strange sound. Now it won't roll back up. Is this for sure the regulator? I have read a lot about these breaking. It seems like it is trying to roll up, could it just be stuck (like fallen off track)?

So now i have two jacked up windows, one that i cannot roll up (driver) and one (passenger) that if i roll down and back up comes up sideways because the little plastic clip broke.

Where can I get these parts for less $$? I am just going to fix both of them myself.

Sounds like window regulators on both sides. My X had three regulators in 6 months replaced by the previous owner.

I feel your pain, I was just into both front doors last week to replace a broken door handle on the driver's side and a broken lock actuator on the passenger side.

Try Crevier BMW for the parts. they have a website and good pricing. Don't know of any other place to get regulators other than a dealer.

well the passenger side rolls up just sideways because one of the clips that holds the window broke off. And I wonder if the driver side one is just stuck.

Regulator, same thing happened to me Thursday

Is there not a cable-tie repair for the stupid plastic clip?
Found it!

you da man! gonna go order a regulator now, ugh.

pics are dead in that pic but I get the general idea here.

You're not a true X5 owner until you've had at least one window regulator go out on 'ya. Welcome to the club. :D

$165 bucks!? Is that a good price? My buddy got his replaced in is '99 3 series for $89 for the part and like $125 labor or so.
