Center console switch could be bad or plug could be loose.

Bro. Where did you get the window regulator fixed and how much was it? I need that one done too.

here's a link for diy instructions for doing the repair without actually replacing the regulator on an E46 if you want to give it a shot yourself. I had zip ties placed on the last one I had repaired so it will still keep working even if the poorly designed part breaks again.

I think I paid around $300 at Young's Automotive. Wendell Young is a mobile BMW specialist and he comes to your location. His number is 734-2471 if you want to give him a try. I've always had good luck with him.
