They all move better without any glass in them!
Exactly. They are great on the bench. Put in glass, and even worse, trim with weatherstrip. That'll slow 'em right down. Still, the e28 motors are significantly faster than stock: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/electric-window-motor-upgrade.414/post-172071
yeah but that was a flashlight battery!
what part of motor you replace? will you please take a picture of the part you replaced or little more detail as you know we are not a mechanic if you explain better I can fix mine I have 2 E9 and non of windows works right please explain more I already buy a motor from ebay like you said motor from E28 but I do not know what part I have to use
please don't be negative the guy worked hard for it and he is happy like I have 2 E9 and I have to fix all of the windows motor and this is the good idea that no one talked about it I believe everybody have a problem with this E9 windows motor
How is my comment negative? And Don is a very good friend.

Are the mods to install e28 motors at the rear much different than those required to install them at the front? E.g.:
- create some clearance for the different shape of the e28 motor/gearbox
- drill a hole for the third mounting screw
- modify the wiring to accommodate the 2-wire, e28 motor
You got it!
