Did you accidentally forget to plug in the window circut to the right of the shifter? That little button that can piss people off causing them to go insane.

How is your starter wired?

Welcome to the wacky world of BMW electricals.

Do a bit of research on "unloader relays" and go see if your HVAC fan works...it won't.

My switch was bypassed by jumping the wires therefore eliminating the switch.

There is a small wire that plugs into the 10mm stud / nut on the back of the alternator that goes to the back of the starter solenoid. If that is disconnected or loose then your power windows will not function.

Yes, the wire is green/black and should be grounded when the car is not cranking.

Meaning when cranking it is either open or 12V...but no matter. Most everyone simply grounds it, heaven forbid you use your HVAC fan or windows while starting your car...
