need front power window tracks, motors and electrical system for
1973 bmw 3.o cs . currently they are roll up windows, want to convert to power.
 
Don't do it, manual windows are faster with fewer problems. Electric windows are nice and slow when they work.

True, but if they're greased and adjusted properly they can be pretty quick. After some effort mine take about 4 seconds each way and it's nice to be able to open them all on the fly.

Mine are pretty quick having cleaned and greased them. They are about 4 seconds each way too. At times I wish they were manual like my 2002 Tii. No window tool needed when your wife rolls her window down. :-?
My friend MikeS converted his CS to manual windows.

Mine did the same thing, did you try adjusting the upper position stop buffer? If you unscrew it a little (if it isnt all compressed from age) it will prevent the window from loading up and sticking when it hits the top of the travel.

I may have some of those parts

I am not sure what I still have, so let me check.

I am in the Ft Myers area
