I finally got tired of wiggling the switches in my 325ic to the point where maybe I got contact. With new switches 4000 miles and many $$$$$ away, I figure I'd attack the problem.
In the end, each switch is about a 15 minute job to clean and rebuild.
Popping the switch apart, you find a few simple parts.
Pulling the buttons out you have the contacts that need cleaning
and sometimes a little straightening
Clean-up with fine sandpaper
A little conductive grease I had picked up at Home Depot
And it is ready for reassembly. Windows zip down and up with much better speed and ease.
