Shawn has had that code because of seriously rusted evap tubes around the gas filling tube (rear right wheel well).

Battery died after 4 years and 1 month!

That's not good, but I think the super cold temps in a unattached garage, combined with being in Europe and not driving for 2 weeks, and leaving the car seat warmer plugged in the cigarette lighter during this time (not on) together contributed to the nearly full drain of the battery.

This one was an H7 AGM from Walmart guaranteed 5 years.

Took it to local O'Reily where it is getting recharged as we speak....

Rear regulator driver side snapped.

Where would you recommend I buy a replacement part from?

Last time I replaced these in my Toyota Camry, i bought 2 of them from amazon and they literally died within weeks. Might as well install one and be done with it.

The cable is broken it seems or twisted around the motor.
The motor still works it seems. I get a regulator from FCPEuro and mount the motor on it and call it a day?

There are a couple of suggestions here on E90 forum:

Thanks Fredo that was helpful. I considered those option and went with a free shipping one from ECStuning for $50.
Will report back if its a dud, but it says lifetime guaranteed.

I like the action plan.

Easy fix with my son. Installed motor onto rail and on we go.

Changed his passenger windows control knobs (one was broken), and cleaned the car, all that in 2 hours.
