[e30sky]

hey guys i have a 85 318i sedan, ummmm the windows are all power windows but its a bit too expensive to buy them brand new. is it possible for me to buy the manual set up and just remove the electronic one and replace it with manual instead? plus its less problem too lol

buy used regulators in power or manual. theres an 84 318 being parted out that was posted today in the parts fs section that probably has what you need for cheap

Yes, you can do that. Be aware that early model window regulators are different that late models, and coupe fronts are different that sedan fronts.

Good luck!

I have a set of the early model coupe manual window regulators. I was going to install these on my car when I started converting it for track use, but I ended up converting my sedan instead. LMK if you are interested in the regulators. They are brand new, never used.
