1995 BMW 318i passenger window is half-way down, won't go up. No sound from motor. Any advice? Thanks!

I would start by checking the fuses, the manual should tell you which fuse corresponds to your window. Do your other windows work? If not it may be your comfort relay.

Hi Kid-
Thanks for your help. All other windows working; car has been sitting for 18 months. Thinking it could be window motor frozen? Any ideas?

If the other windows are working and there is not a blown fuse then I would suspect that the motor is the problem. It "could" be the switch that operates the motor, but the motor is far more likely. As to a possible fix that does not involve replacing the motor Ive got no idea. I would hit up vines automotive in AL (assuming you are stateside) and see about getting a motor from them if you do not want to purchase a new one. They have always treated me well with good prices and quick shipping.
