A-Premium Power Window Regulator Rear Driver Side, Without Motor | Compatible with BMW E46 323i 325i 325xi 328i 330i 330xi

I bought an A-Premium regulator for my 325i driver side back in 2018 and it is still working sweetly good . For this reason , I chose the A-Premium to replace my car passenger side . Easy to install , perfect fit , so far my window up/down is working very smooth and quiet .

Shipped fast and appeared to be a quality part. Installation was a breeze and regulator worked as expected. My ‘00 BMW 323i has a working passenger window again, so I’m happy.

I’ve been replacing window regulators for years on my E46 and usually I go with original BMW Parts because I’ve had a trouble with aftermarket. This is the first time I can honestly say that after market, at a fraction of the cost is an excellent choice. Easy to install.

Perfect fit and works properly...Not the easiest BMW part to install, not because of this part, but the window regulator design by BMW...Will buy again if another window regulator goes out...!!!

Part: Front Right Window RegulatorAt a fraction of the cost of OEM, this appears to be a solid replacement. I did run into a couple problems during install that I resolved with simple modification. No installation instructions are provided, but it's easy to find videos on the web that outline the replacement steps.As this item does not include the window motor, you must either transplant the motor from your old Window Regulator assembly or provide other. I found that the mounts did not line up with the holes on my E46 window motor. The motor hits a stop before it can be rotated fully under mounts(see pic). Rather than modifying my OEM window motor, I chose to enlarge the mount holes on the new regulator using a Dremel and small stone grinding tip. I taped over the gearbox to prevent intrusion of metal filings(see pic). With that, I was able to secure the motor on regulator mounts(see pic).It was also noticed that the outer regulator support arm(without gearbox) had a sharp burr along the outer edge(see pic). Fearing premature wear of the window glide, I deburred the edge with some sandpaper and regreased.The cables on old BMW regulator rails run across greased pads. This regulator does not have pads nor comes well-greased(see pic). Before installation, I applied generous grease to all cable runs. I used general purpose lithium as that was all I had on hand.Tested operation several times immediately after regulator install and again after door panel and remaining parts reinstalled. Regulator runs well; time will tell if it lasts. Will update review if any problems arise.

Like one reviewer said, the fingers the motor attaches to are somewhat flexible, so if they don't line up to the motor, don't drill them, just push them into place. A little bit of that flexibility is required just to install the motor, which requires a twisting motion to remove from the old frame when the screws are out, and then requires twisting the new motor onto the new frame, with the fingers flexing a little during this motion. My motor lined up without any problems, but I noticed after it was installed that the motor on the frame would twist just a little when the window hit its limit at the top or bottom, showing the slight flexibility in the frame to help absorb shock, and likely prevent gear breakage, than if the motor were mounted more rigidly. So given the obvious flexibility, if a finger is a little off, just push it into place. The one I received fit perfectly in the door and got my window going smoothly up and down again just like nothing ever happened.

We weren’t sure if this would fit my son’s 2001 BMW 325i. It worked great, and was a fraction of the cost of factory parts.

I dont often leave reviews but am making an exception for this 2004 e46 325IT window regulator because of its quality. Its fit and finish were equal to much more expensive and possibly as good as OEM parts. (Used original BMW window motor with zero problems)Durability is TBD...

Muy bien hasta ahorita, gracias y felicidades por el buen servicio

Lo recibí antes de lo previsto, de buena calidad y le quedo exacto a mi auto funciona de maravilla, lo habían reparado 2 veces anteriormente, ahora lo hice yo mismo quedo mucho mejor

Worked perfect for my 03' 325xi, straight forward install when following online tutorials.

The shipment arrived days earlier than it was initially intended to which was great. The quality seems to be good and was simple to install. Happy with the purchase so far and will update if anything further comes of it.

Old driver front regulator cable came apart. Replaced it with this and now everything works. All bolts lined up and it works great! So far, happy with the product and price.
