E46 BMW owners - which parts have you printed?

Question

Just joined this community and I drive an E46 325i. Wondering what parts you guys have had success printing for these. I know the window regulators break a lot, can those be printed?

You'll want to use PETG with at least 0.2mm layer height. Works way better than PLA for car parts.

Make sure you're doing 4 walls minimum. Infill honestly doesnt matter as much as wall thickness.

Try printing at 245C with 70mm/s. That's my sweet spot for PETG.
