Disconnect the battery. remove the door lock knob. remove the bezel around the interior door latch by sliding the bezel towards the front of the car. carefully pry off the air bag logo. There is a torx screw under it - remove said screw. Carefully pry off the two screw covers under the door pull - there are two torx screws under these two covers - remove the screws. With a flexible flat spackling tool, caerfuly run the tool around the door cover, releasing the clips that hold the cover to the door. lift the door cover away from the door, and disconnect the front speakers. disconnect and remove the airbag. Carefully remove the foam liner, exposing the window mechanism.  Carefully pry up and remove the drip rail from the interior side of the window. re-install the air bag (else you'll set an error code) and reconnect the battery. Run the window up or down as needed to expose the connection between the window and the lifter mechanism. disconnect the clips on the two sliders that run in the channel on the metal clip attached to the bottom of the window and carefully press that slider towards the door - which will unclip the slider from the lifter mechanism. Now the window should pull up and out of the car.
replacing the window is the reverse of all this, making sure the window is aligned in the tracks inside the door so that it goes up and down smoothly.
All I need now is to figure out how to adhere that track to the bottom of the window - that's what broke on my car - something that will adhere to the glass and metal!

Passenger side seat stuck in recline 1996 328i bmw

This is either an electrical problem or the infamous twisted seat problem caused by the cables between the motors and reclining gear units of the power seat.
Check the connector under the front of the seat and make sure it has not been disconnected
listen to determine whether the motor at the front of the seat are turning when you try to move the seat (they are fairly quiet)
If the motor spins, then search internet for "bmw twisted seat"
good luck

How to remove battery from bmw 328i 1999

Before you disconnect the battery, you need to know the code for your radio or you will end up paying the dealer. It may also erase any stored fault codes. Open trunk, remove plastic tray on passenger side, disconnect negative cable first then the positive cable. Remove hold down (single screw and plate) and lift out battery. Reinstall in reverse order

I have a 1997 BMW 328i striaght 6 and the passengers front seat will not tilt up or back. the seat will move front to back. but the back of the seat will not move up and down.

this is a typical problem.. Either the individual motor that operates the back of the seat has gone bad or the bar that connects to the back rest has come off.
