The window motors that are for sale everywhere, are only for the front left and front right in the listings! Are the front window motors to their side of the vehicle compatable / the same as the rear windows on the same side??? My two rear window motors have been shot since I got her 3 years ago, and its time to circulate some more air..... If you haven't noticed through my frequent posts, this vehicle I have fallen in love with needs some love & restoration and thats what I am doing with all these forum posts, so please bare with me while I get through some of the tougher things and question....

I see no reason why the front would be different from the rear. Don't worry about asking tonnes of questions... we're all doing the same thing with our E30's... the only E30 that doesn't need any work is the one my parents just bought today... 1989 Alpine White 325i... 72,000km!!!!
I wish I had been on this forum when I had my two old 86 325e's. Fix that car up, and ask as many question as it takes. No-one knows these car just from looking at them.

Looking at this depiction of the elec. window lifting mechanism, seams as though the motors have different part numbers...
I dunno - get manual window winders!

If you go to realoem and get the part numbers, I got 51351935639 Left rear, and 51351935640 right rear, and than go to Pelican Parts and enter those numbers in the search parts window they will get the part and price for you. I did it for your Rear Left and they came up with a special order non-returnable part $265.00.
