I put this in my complaint form.
3 series models (E36) And notably the 318Ti BMW automobiles have an extremely high failure rate for the window regulators. Its not uncommon to have to repair them anually at a cost of approx 300 dollars per door. The failure occurs without warning causing the window to jam, or fall inside the door. This is a well known documented problem among the owner comunity and reactions at dealers is "Oh yea happens all the time." I propose this could present an egress issue in event of an emergency.
At one point in the form I had to click E46 because they only gave me one option....
