Hmm wow, that's cool. I personally have no problem with the E30 switches (it's a switch!) but to each his own.

one of those just to be different things. plus my e30 switches were gummed up because the previous owner liked his soda way to much and used the center console as a cup holder

[sbz1312]

I find the switches too "heavy". My left hand & wrist are not what they ought to be, thanks to our wonderful National Health Service! It's one of the few niggles I have with the E30. But it's by far the best car I've ever owned.

hows that write-up going

So what is this, the whole e36 console?

Will any model work? Parts list?

[Digitalwave]

It's just the window switches, no console.

[Nate325ic]

console is just a 2dr console with out the breaker switch and I dremeled out an opening big enough for the e36 switches and bezel. I've been lazy about installing the last switch I'll be doing it soon though so my car doesn't look getto for the philly meet :D

[bmwm3n528]

So, what's to this...just swap out the switches?

Sure it's somewhere in the thread, just dont really wanna search/read through it all, haha.

[Nate325ic]

I'm about to get off my lazy ass and do this in like 5 minutes I'll tell what position e36 switch goes to e30 harness

[BahnE30]

i think your 5 minutes are up

[T.Dot E30]

where is the guy with how to make the windows go up when u turn the key off? I wanna know how to do that......hurting my head thinking about it....but i donno anything about relay's so thats why im not getting it.

Maybe if i knew wat relay, and what it did i could fiqure it out.

[Nate325ic]

yeah they are :( OK, I couldn't find numbers on the e36 switch harness and each window seems to have different colors for each harness. but its really no tthat hard to figure out. e30 harness has 5 wires. 2 are brown one of the browns dont get used its just an extra ground. the rest isn't hard to figure out...if you blow a fuse you did it wrong
