okay fellas, let me know what you think about this one. The passenger side window has decided to give up the ghost. According to various websites it is the motor. Here's why question does anyone know if the motor in the rear windows is the same as the front? As I wish to replace the front one with the rear if possible. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help

not quiet sure on the E46 but on the E30 the motors are the same, the window mechanism is different. you may have to modify the fitting & the motor has to sit correctly to the teeth grooves so the opening/closing is correct. . I have done this before on a 4 door E30 model so assuming yours can be played about with too if you desire the effort/time.. hope this helps -_-

Both the rear N/S and O/S share the same lifter motor (part number)

The front N/S and O/S are both different to each other and do not share the same part numbers as the rears.

In answer to your question of can you swap the front motor with the rear ones?: No (From Part numbers as an indicator)

I hope this helps
