Is the problem evident when one particular window is used? Or does the problem persist regardless of any window movement? What 5 series model do you have?

Check the fusible link (aluminium strap) as these fracture and cause intermittant faults.
I dont know which model you have but on the E34 with the battery in the engine compartment the link is situated in a black torpedo shaped canister on the live battery lead fairly close to the battery itself. On the models with the batterys under the back seat I believe the link to be again on the positive lead close to the battery.
On the E28's the fusebox on the inner wing can be troublesome. I had problems with the headlights on an M525 whereby the fuse was okay but on checking further it was the fuse holder at fault and the fuse was loose between the tags. Could be the same on any circuit.

Hope this helps.
