My brother is currently dealing with this exact bullE36 M3. I bought a replacement Clip kit off of Amazon for like $13.00. Its already paid for itself by fixing 2 (notso) quick disconnects. His will be the third.
Just for clarification and to reset your expectations I think those are quick connects, not quick disconnects.

+1 on inconsistent delivery times/info, and ads in a paid video service. Definitely sliding downhill...
I just received a "new" blu-ray player with someone else's return slip still in the box.
I am close to canceling our prime membership for related reasons.
My rant: my dad and group text etiquette. It is really annoying.

The windows start moving after you press the switch and stop moving after you release it. This suggests that the windows are being controlled through a computer with a multitasking OS that takes inputs from the switches, rather than direct electrical connections between the switches and the window motors. I've also noticed some of their power seats having the same issue.
Nothing in any modern car (meaning anything made in the last 20-30 years or so) directly controls with the switches. Direct control makes for irregular haptics, as well as heavier gauge/more complex wiring harnesses. And the switches also are less reliable.
Plus, controlling everything via modules makes it super easy to do things like allowing you to move the windows after you shut the car off but before you open the door. Or having the car automatically close the windows and sunroof when the windshield's rain sensor detects that it is raining.
I think Gameboy's point was them using a Microprocessor vs. Microcontroller.
Just because *MY* shop space happens to have open space on a counter / workbench does not mean its space for you to drop off your crap in a pile.
