The electric window regulators on the BMW E38 often fail due to broken plastic pulleys on the regulator.
Once the pulley breaks, any operation of the motor often causes the wire cable to be permanently damaged due to wrinkling of the cable under the motor and gear assembly.
The rear windows are especially prone to breaking because the design does not allow for the release of the high tension in the cable.
Low cost regulators simply do not last as the pulley wheels either warp or shatter under the tension of the cable as the car is exposed to temperature extremes.
This solution replaces the plastic pulley with an aluminum pulley wheel that will not get damaged due to heat or cold cycles.
You may opt to buy just metal pulley wheels to rebuild your working regulators
OR
You can purchase NEW regulators modified to have metal pulley wheels.
