Me. I’ve had three of the four done on my E39. Still waiting for the ticking time bomb fourth.

I wonder why they are so inconsistently reliable. Now that to think about it, it was probably about 7 years ago. I wonder if this thread will trigger mine to fail now. |

I think the coupes failed much faster. Probably the same part, but the glass was bigger and heavier. I had 2 fail on my ‘01 in the nearly 4 years I had it...

Makes sense.
We'll add this to the list if reasons why sedans > coupes |

I had no issues on any of my e46s until about 2 years ago. Since then I think I've done 5, this is the second drivers side door replacement. I've never seen one spool a cable like this.
Anyway, it is replaced and working, albeit slower than I would like. Seems like there is a lot of friction.

I think we did regulators 7 times in the first three years of the '02 325xiT.

I just replaced my fuel pump about a month ago, my 2nd pump in 15 years/150,000 miles.
As far as regulators, I've done 2: RR and LF.
