I haven´t even tried so I don´t know. The "auto" roll-up (or down) function sure is nice to have, but I´m fine without it. It doesn´t keep me up at night.1998 528i auto on staggered DSII

Don´t quote me on this, but apparently the uno-touch function is not controlled by the button (at least not in the E36) but by a window control unit that receives different signals from the switches depending on how long you depress the button. Or something like that. The larger white or blue base switches activate the window motor themselves, no control unit involved. That´s why they have much lower gauge (thicker) wires.

So I'm in the middle of trying to find the right switches, the green small plug switch won't work correct?
I did find 1 large white plug switch after 4 wrecking yards so if the green ones one work then I guess I will have to try one more yard to see if they have any more.
