I have a source who has a set of 528 rear window motors that according to " the go to man " HB Chris they will work on any E9 window. $60 each.

These are rear motors, Bosch numbers ending in 026 and 027.
Hi ChrisThese are rear motors, Bosch numbers ending in 026 and 027.
E28 motors can be adapted to the sardine style and there is a post here detailing how to do it.
Biggest change is three wires to two.

There is a step-by-step explanation of this conversion at:

That defines the biggest difference between the sardine can and e28 motors. But I don't think Chris meant that wiring was the biggest part of this conversion. Phrased differently, the e28 motors aren't a simple bolt-in replacement for the "sardine can" motors, though the degree of drilling and cutting needed can be done with common hand tools. The two websites referenced above explain the mechanical and electrical mods.
Right, don't need the separate gearbox used with the "sardine can" motors. The e28 motor and gearbox are integrated.
Thank you Chris for thorough explanation! I know now exactly what is what! Do you have any suggestions for the rear windows ?Tony,
Sardine cans replaced in Feb/Mar of 73 when switches and regulators also changed and circuit breakers were added. E28 rear door motors are plug and play with these (add a spade terminal). E12 does not work. E28 motors can be adapted to the sardine style and there is a post here detailing how to do it. Biggest change is three wires to two. Yes, the Bosch numbers end in 026 and 027, L and R.
Jmackro, Thank you !! This link is much better than the other one I was reffed to while back. This one does it without cutting the portion of the door inner shell by using spacers! Not sure however if the adjusting (tilt) mobility for the Window regulator is limited with this method.
