I'm curious if anyone has replaced one of these? The passenger side on my (no longer) budget E70 will only move left/right. There is no up/down movement at all. The drivers side is fine.
I've looked for motors on eBay without much success. Complete used units are far from inexpensive. Ali-express, Amazon, etc, don't seem to offer replacement motors either.
I messaged LLL parts over the weekend and just had an email advising BMW only offer complete units. Does anyone have better knowledge?

I haven't done it on the E70 but have changed the adjustment motor on 2, 5 series which I am lead to believe are the same a neighbours and a friend in both cases BMW wanted to change the complete assembly for the typically BMW price
They both sourced the drive motor from the bay after googling the part number neighbour paid £25 friend £45 (but it came with the loom not needed)
Changing it took about an hour taking time so as not to snap any of the plastic clips once apart it just unplugs replace and it all clips back together
Not being very cooperative your E70

Its not being cooperative. A few TLC issues are history now, having moved onto bigger, more costly issues.
