[QUOTE="jarance, post: 159195, member: 21"] It seem like the E30 and E36 have more reliable power window mechanism. However, due to change in design and weight reduction, the E46 used the wire system. However, due to our hot climate, the window pane tends to stick on the rubber seal and cause the plastic to break after a long absence of usage. This problem can be avoid or minimised if you spray some silicon grease on your window rubber seal and the window pane. I have only encountered a jammed window on my E36 only once. After a bit of diy, spraying some grease, the problem never happened again in my 8 years of driving the car.. I have only changed the plastic guide for the window for about RM3.50 each. [/QUOTE]
