the bastard relay that you seek is hiding under the dash below the cluster by the column, it's called the comfort relay and it develops a bad joint on the board, it can be resoldered, i can't really tell you exactly where it is without a picture, somebody has got to have a pic on the net try searching for comfort relay, and if too much crap pops up start adding words like windows and e36 bmw

I've also checked for a supply on the safety cut out switch and actual window switches, but theres no power on either.
I wondered if it could be a faulty relay, but I don't know where the relay is situated in the fusebox.
Any suggestions?
