I thought it was a good deal, I guess it still is. He's selling just the motor. They usually don't go bad, it's the regulator arms that get bent and sometimes it's such a PITA to straighten them, it's easier to just replace it. Not to say that the window motors won't die, it's just not as common as the regulator arms getting bent.
BTW, it's usually caused by the grease BMW used drying out and becoming a paste after about 8 or 9 years. It goes like this: grease dries -> sliders stick -> regulator arms bend -> sliders pop out -> window falls off track -> bends vertical tracks -> regrease sliders/straighten regulator arms/put everything back together(forget to straighten vertical tracks) -> repeat process 10 times -> motor dies from friction caused by bent vertical tracks
The End.
