Our passengers side window stopped working, We were lucky enough BMW sorted it under warranty. They replaced the window motor for us :thumbs up:

Have you tried putting the key in the door an holding it in the open position to see if it opens that way? Or i could be wrong, I know if you hold the key one way it either opens or shuts the windows bud. Worth a try :yes nod:

Hope that helped a bit :thumbs up:

Yeah I've had to fix this too on my last mini.
I have to admit it does have it's difficult points and having some one with small hands helps.
I would offer to help but I'm ill.
So hopefully Chris can lend a hand (top tip... pay attention when replacing the bushes back onto the contacts)

how did you fix it? my passenger door window has suddenly stopped working also for no apparent reason. can hear relay clicking when you operate the switch so i'm thinking its not a fuse?

LoL forget that just tried the "BANG THE DOOR ABOVE THE SPEAKER" option and it's now working a treat haha, but whats the cause and why does thumping it make any difference?

not sure tbh lol but 1 thing i would say is the tracks/runners that raise the window up/down seem to be grease free....!prob worth removing door card and greasing to be safe.as new motors aint cheap :argh:
