Is there a quarter glass and side window shade? Do you have any car repairing skills and do you have the tools? It will not require special tools, just a metric socket set, 1/4" drive, screwdrivers, plastic prying tools, Torx drivers, time and patience. And the replacement window regulator, the motor may be still okay to use.

yes there is a sliding window shade and quarter glass this 740iL has it, I am also ASE certified and worked mostly on Japnese cars, like Lexus,toyota and honda,I never worked on BMWand MBenze cars.

Great, you can fix this no sweat. Do you have the regulator yet? I will repost the instructions after we (Me and the Wife) get back tonite from Xmas celebrations.
