All three remaining windows work perfectly.
SOURCE: 2001 BMW 325i Power Window Won't Go Up
Have you tried spraying the window guides/channels with silicone, the motors are very small that operate the window, it just might be they are sticking from no lube, I have seen this many times in my 30 years as a tech. If this doesn't provide the cure swap the window switchs and see what happens that may be the issue. This is from a post on a BMW owner site:
When I put the switch from the front window in the console for the rear window, I got nothing. When I put it back in the front console socket, I was able to roll the window back up. So, now it looks like I have 1 switch with a faulty down and one with a faulty up. I took the switch out of the console for the rear left window and tried it on the front right window. The window goes up and down! However, I'm still getting nothing when I put it in the console for the rear right window as well, looks like one switch is defective on down, and the other on up, so I replaced both.
SOURCE: rear power window wont move makes grinding type noise
it is the window regulator your motor is ok this is a very common thing onBMW
SOURCE: 2001 325i Power Window can't move back up
it could be a lot of things, It might have gotten off track and now is jammed or something. I would suggest taking it to the bmw dealership so no damage is done to the window itself.
Good luck and keep me posted.
Thanks,

SOURCE: bmw 325 window regulator with motor installation
chances are, the motor is fine. the regulators break all the time though. You can install it yourself with a little common knowledge. First obtain a new regulator for the respective door from your local dealer. To begin, remove the door panel. use a small screw driver to pry off the wood trim at the top portion of the door panel starting from the rear and moving forward. then pry out the small cover by the door pull as well as the 2 covers underneath the armrest. use a T-20 torx driver to remove the 5 hidden screws. then pry the door panel off of the door being careful not to ruin the clips or tug on the wiring. set the panel aside. now you will need to remove the side airbag (if applicable)using a 10mm socket. release the locking tab on the plug by prying it up approx. 1/4 inch, and then pull the plug out of its connector. be careful not to turn the key on with this unplugged or the airbag light will be tripped on. if you must , re install the plug so that the computer can "see" it. Now remove the vapor barrier using a razor blade. be careful not to rip it. once the inside of the door is exposed you should remove the 3 T-30 torxes on the window motor. then tilt the motor out of its bracket and remove it. you may have to pry at it depending on how tight the cable tension is. Now that the regulator is left in the door you have to remove it. lift the window by hand up in the door until you can see the two 8mm screws attaching it to the regulator through the 2 rectangular slots in the regulator arms. if the window is jammed down and will not move, use a pair of **** or wire cutters to cut the cable to free it up. now remove those 2 8mm screws and push the window back and up into the door where it goes when you roll it up all the way. now remove the 5 10mm screws holding the regulator to the door. install the new regulator into the door and bolt it in place. pull the window down and install the 2 8mm screws. re install the motor, vapor barrier, and airbag. then press the door panel back onto the door and bolt it back in, and finally install all of the covers.
SOURCE: Rear window washers working
I have a 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser. I could hear the washer pump working but no fluid was coming out. We blew the lines with an air compressor and air came through all nozzles, that did not solve the problem. Long story short, we discovered the turbine in the pump was foaming up the fluid that was in the tank. We emptied the fluid (possibly bad batch of fluid) put straight water in the tank and the washers are now working fine. Unfortunately we dont know when the fluid was filled last or the batch number, we only know that it was the blue. I will buy new fluid tomorrow. It is unfortunate that a 1.99 bottle of fluid could cause so much problems and expenses for some. Hope this helps someone.
CAUTION: Make sure that no obstructions are present in the power rear window system when carrying out this procedure. CAUTION: Make sure that no obstructions are present in the power rear window system when carrying out this procedure. If the windows don't
work, any of several issues is likely to blame, including no electricity, bad
switches, bad motor, damaged window regulator, or even a broken wire.
Automotive power windows
use a switched motor to operate a mechanical window regulator. This regulator
moves the pane of glass into the door.
To check and confirm the fault try this
procedure:--
1) Open the fuse panel and check the fuses for
disrupted elements. The fuse panel at the driver's side kick panel, or between
the dashboard and the door. In some cars the fuses are mounted in the engine
compartment, in front of the driver's side firewall. Check the fuses and
replace if faulty.
2) Test the wiring
harnesses from the fuse panel to the switches and from the switches to the
window regulator motor. If the circuits test fine, then proceed to the next
step. If a wiring harness is shorted or damaged, it will need to be replaced.3) Remove and test the switches
on the driver's side door panel. Pry them up with a screwdriver and pull them
free of the panel's opening. Disconnect the switch assembly from the wiring
harness by pulling the adapter plug from the assembly. Test the switches
individually by touching both sides of one switch with the circuit tester. Each
switch will have two terminals, and if the tester is positive on both terminals
while the window is activated, then the switch is good. Replace the switch
assembly if any of the switches fails the test. Most power window switches come
in assembled modules and cannot be replaced individually.4) Remove and test (if
possible) the power window motor. Turn the armrest bolts and interior door
handle screws counterclockwise, then pull the door panel free from the pop
rivets. Behind the panel are a window regulator, the window glass, and the electric
driver motor. The motor is usually located in the lower right section of the
door. Unplug the motor from the wiring harness and unbolt it from the window
regulator by turning the bolts counterclockwise. Pull the motor straight out,
away from the gears. And check out if motor is receiving exact 12 volts at the
terminals. If not then either motor is faulty or there is a confirm short if
motor is replaced.
5) If all the above
mentioned possibilities are checked out ok then the window regulator needs to
be checked. Inspect the window regulator's joints for rust or stiff movement,
if the electrical system is operating correctly. These joints can corrode or
break, causing the window to stop working. With the door panel off, the window
regulator can be removed and replaced by sliding the glass away from the track
mounts, then turning all mount bolts counterclockwise and manipulating the
regulator out of the door.
