It's a cool upgrade if your old POS "pushy" e30 switches barely work or not at all, and stick. Looks way better too.

EXACTLY! these switches dont only look better, they preform ALOT better. the windows also dont slow down when you are operating more than one. its just a much better design then the POS push switches. its definitely a good mod and worth the money.

I don't think this has been said, so I thought I'd add it.

Underneath the console there are little tabs of metal on the edges of the window switch holes. To make the filing much easier, I removed mine first with some needle nose pliers.

Good Job! Looks nice! I put chrome frames on mine, but I think I am going to put the black one I also have back on. I do not want to over bling it.
