Ho everyone, I put the top down on my 90 e30 and I tried putting the windows down, and got nothing, I noticed the ac didn't work as well, I was trying to change the from bezel computer to anther one, but I couldn't get the 2 bottom screams off, so I kind of gave up on that, any suggestions? Many thanks.

well, the window wiring harnesses all go under the center console near the shifter, so maybe you pulled them loose off the switches? IDK why that would have affected the heater or AC.
Isn't it 75 and sunny every day in Pasadena anyhow? You don't need no stinkin AC or heat!
IDK what else to say - check all fuses - check your Bentley to see what fuses are used by both the HVAC and windows (if any) and check those first. Otherwise, you will need to pull the center HVAC console and stuff in that area and find whatever wire has come unattached....Stage rally/rallycross e30 build/competition journal

When you say heater and AC do not work, do you mean the blower motor?
There is a wire that goes to the starter so that when you are cranking to start, it cuts power to the windows and blower. I would check the relay or parts associated with that. maybe you accidentally shorted something and the relay went.
When i was doing my swap, i screwed up my harness because my blower and windows didnt work.. turns out that i did not connect my starter correctly.
I know this has nothing to do with removing the center bezel, but its a possibility.

Yes, it's the same as the load reduction relays (K5 and K7 I think). Basically, you should disable this function or buy a new starter. Most people just disable it and don't crank the blower up and lower the windows when starting. I believe you'll have to take the 30h wire of the starter (thin wire, check an ETM for color) and ground it. There are DIYs on this site.
