The rear passenger window was rolled down then up. When it stopped at the top a clunk was heard. The window was rolled down about halfway and all by itself came all the way down where it remains. When the switch is activated there is no motor sound evident.
SOURCE: window won't go up or down
our window regulator is driven by plastic pulleys and wire cables. They brake all the time. You will need a new regulator for the window. They are not cheap and it takes some kowledge to remove the door panel. It is not like the olden days There are no tracks to put it back onto anymore. Bmw has had numeorous failures when going to this design as well as other manufactures

1st Scenario
The noise you are decribing can be from the driving gear from one of the electric motors could be worn down in which case you will have to get it replaced the best place to get a cheap second hand one is at a scrap yard.
2nd Scenario
If the trunk still wont open then the loose cable you are describing has snapped you will know witch cable because if the roof lid is open check for a button on one of the right lid catch which tells the car the roof lid is now closed and secure so the trunk is now allowd to open. If this is the case replace the cable.
To alastair bda if this does not solve your problem I have sent you an e-mail with further questions to investigate your noise problem. I will be waiting on your reply.

hi there
there are three things that would cause this problem
1. the window motor is bad
2. the fuse that controls the window is blown
3. most common is the window switch its self
this is the most common cause
if the motor was going out it would make a noise or go down very slow but going down is easier then up so thats what makes me think switch or fuse
don

I had the same problem on the rear door of my 1998 528i and it was the door actuator that had gone bad. I had to take the rear seat out to get the door panel off. Once I had the door panel off it was not that difficult to replace the door actuator.
