: : I am a new BMW owner. I have recently acquired a 1977 630CSi with a faulty front passenger window motor. I take it this is a common problem in older 6-Series. Has anyone had luck replacing the motor themselves, or is this best attempted by my local BMW mechanic? Maybe it's the switch, not the motor- is there a good way to test? What costs/time am I in for? Any advice on what I'm getting into would be helpful. Also, best place for replacement parts, new or rebuilt, etc. would be appreciated as well.

: I'm betting on the switch. Try unplugging the switch and exchanging for one that works.

I concur. I've had two window switches die on me over the past year. Second time around I just replaced all four with the illuminated variety.
