The electric window could either be the fuse,switch, or window regulator motor at fault..Sometimes the window motor electric plug can vibrate loose or become loose from door slamming..Also the switch can become loose as well or contamination if you are lucky..You will have to remove door panel to inspect these components..and fuse panel..The light could be a faulty bulb..Check and replace bulb..before involving the signal indicator switch lever...If bulb is at fault go ahead and change bulbs at both rear sides..Do not try to repair signal switch because of air bag..If you can hold down on the turn signal switch and it works the switch is at fault...

see the diagram attached and proceed with common sense for troubleshooting use VOM.
1) test the switch for bad contacts or open. 2( motor faulty, 3) lubricates the mechanism 4) tight the wires connector 5) test the fuse6) ground faulty. God bless you

The window regulators in e46s are notorious for failure.
Often, you can fix them with zip ties. Failing that, replacing the regulator is not too hard.
Disconnect the battery before starting to remove the door panel because there is an air bag in the door panel.
Pry up the trim strip starting from the rear. Remove all the screws that hold on the door panel. One of them is hiding beneath the mirror control button. Pry the switch up out of the door to find the screw.
DO NOT connect the battery and turn on the key while the air bag is unplugged.
Once you can see the regulator, you may be able to see where the cable has broken loose from the regulator. You may be able to zip tie it back in place. I did that several years ago on my wife's '04 330 and it is still working.
You can get a window regulator for this car on Amazon.com for $50 or you can get a BMW regulator for $150. Since we know that the BMW part is crappy, the $50 aftermarket part from Amazon might be worth a try.
