bump..........sooooooooo window motors, regulators from a 320 will fit a 325 ??? 86-88 models ??? I found a great deal, just want to make sure before I buy !!! Thanks

Nope. 2 different '88s had early style regulators.

huh, this is news to me. I've parted 3 '88s now and they've all had the newer style. They are all very late build dates though, so maybe that had something to do with it.

No fucking way. Get your fab skills out, do something better.

Sorry to bump an old thread but just so people know the switch over from early to late model regulators is 3/88.

Nope. The '88 I parted was '7/88 and was early style.

Well, of course, some lazy body shop hunting parts could have hacked it years ago, but that was the 2nd '88 I had earlys in.

Hell, Imma say BMW just did whatever the hell they felt that day...

Difference between sedan and coupe motors / regulators?

Is there any difference between the motors / regulators in sedans and coupes?

I found a regulator and motor from a late model sedan and want to do the conversion into my early model coupe.
