  1. 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
  2. my 1997 328 has done the same thing for the last two years, and yes I have checked it has oil in it. I went on another website and the consensus of opinion there, was that it was a faulty warning light or some such !Removed!. Anyway, apparently it's quite common. I'm sure a quick Google search or look on a 46 fanatics will confirm this information. As I am a cheapskate and well-known for my propensity to spend it not a penny unless I have to, I will continue watching the yellow light. Yes it is annoying, can be worrying, but as I said my car has been doing it for two years and it still drives perfectly well. Best wishes
