Less weight, more comfort

Coburg. From the many years of experience and close cooperation with Brose, BMW is once again with its 7 series model pinning high hopes on the automotive supplier’s efficiency. Brose’s power window regulators contribute greatly to the comfort provided in the new BMW luxury segment.

With the new window regulators, integrating technical developments made since the predecessor model in the previous 7 series, Brose is continuing the development BMW wishes to pursue toward a light-weight construction. By using aluminum, Brose has succeeded in reducing weight substantially: despite an increase in technical comfort and detail, the complete window regulator set in the front and rear doors generates extraordinary savings in weight of about 2.5 kg per vehicle.

Like in the previous model, the Brose power window regulator is located between the door outer panel and glass, thus maximizing the space in the door. The door trim, for example, provides enough space for large storage pockets, loudspeakers and soundboxes.

Double guided cable window regulators are to be found in the front doors. In the rear area, there are single guided variants. An additional compression spring integrated into the window regulator ensures additional safety. It optimizes the reaction time of the window regulator electronics and provides indirect anti-trap protection, thus meeting all international legal requirements.
