my driver electric window when i push the switch down goes down the stops the only way it goes to the bottom if you keep pushing it. i read on here it could be the switch or the relay but the fault was different to mine my e36 is a 1992

Swap the switches over to eliminate the switch that you feel may be faulty.

Remove the gear stick gaiter and push the switch upwards from underneath:thumbsup

Could also be that the runners are dry in a particular place or the window is misaligned

That could well be your problem. From the outside looking from the wing mirror down the side of the car towards the rear does it appear that the door frame where the window slides has bellowed out?

I have this on the touring and it has a crease at the bottom close to the wing mirror which is a clear indication that the car has been/attempted to be broken into. The scum bags often bend the top of the door back to try and lift the pin.
