    Default Windows....

    My driver rear window has decided to stop working on my 93 M5. Pretty sure it's not the switches, since I have two of them to test. I'm getting no movement or sound from the window, so I'm assuming the motor is dead. However, perhaps someone can give me a clue as to what I can test before I go through the arduous task of drilling rivets and replacing the motor.

    Default Turn the key on first, then sit in the back seat and pull the

    door closed fairly hard while holding the window button down or up at the same time.. Sometimes they start working after you do this.

    check the window relays. if you dont hear them click and the switch is good, i would start to troubleshoot here.
