Product Details and Specifications

This Dorman window motor and regulator assembly (part number 741-479) is specifically designed for compatibility with BMW 525i, 528i, 530i, 540i, and M5 models. The plastic gear material offers durability while maintaining smooth operation. The assembly uses a bolt attachment type, ensuring a secure fit without the need for additional mounting hardware, which is not included. Featuring two electrical terminals, this unit connects directly to the vehicle’s existing wiring. Note that this is a non-express window motor, meaning it does not support one-touch up or down functionality, and it does not include anti-pinch or micro-controlled embedded logic features.

Common Applications and Problem Resolution

  • Restores power window function in BMW 525i, 528i, 530i, 540i, and M5 vehicles
  • Replaces faulty or worn window motors causing slow or non-responsive window movement
  • Addresses issues with window regulators that fail to hold or move the glass properly
  • Eliminates electrical connection problems related to damaged motor terminals
  • Solves problems with window assemblies that lack express up/down features but require reliable operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires removal of the door panel and disconnection of the existing window motor and regulator. Since mounting hardware and wiring harness are not included, retain original components or source replacements as needed. The bolt attachment type simplifies securing the assembly, but proper alignment is essential for smooth window operation. Professional installation is recommended if unfamiliar with power window systems.
