Anyone have the E30 to E36 power window switch write-up?

[bimmerphile]

I've got the writeup.

Josh, I already gave it to you because it's on my web server already.


I'm not going to give it to you this time, so there.

[Jand3rson]

Ok, why not?

I remember you giving it to me a while back, but I re-formatted since then, and I lost it.

Because you're not responsible enough, thats why. :borg:


EDIT: in all fairness, i'm on my ibook, not on the G5 where all the BMW stuff is, and I really don't want to dig through my server to find it. I'll get it to you later today, don't worry :).

[Jand3rson]

Ha ha ha, I thought you were being serious, Kris. :D

Dude, what is the deal here?

Here is a write up Eric sent me a while back. Hope it helps.
ere is the front page: http://209.223.6.40:180/

Here is the link directly to the article:

and just in case, here is the important info:

=======================================
This info applies to modifying e30 LIGHTED switches
over to e36 LIGHTED switches with the WHITE base.

e36 BLACK ----> e30 #1 BLACK
e36 PURPLE ----> e30 #8 PURPLE
e36 Red/BRN ----> e30 #3 Green/Blue
e36 BROWN ----> e30 #5 BROWN

The 5th Brown wire on the e30 side is just an extra
ground. It won't connect to anything on the e36
switch.

Linky no worky. Keeps timing out.

I have it right here, but I can't put it up on my cable server. If you want it, shoot me an email at krolson@cableone.net and I'll send it to you. It's a 320K PDF.

Pardon MY ignorance but what do you get from this swap?

E36 window switches instead of E30 window switches.

Advantages: Better illumination, don't get hot to the touch, easier to push, don't corrode as easily, updated look.

Cool i like rocker switches, can you make them one touch? Also, i took my switches apart and turned the buttons around so the arrows face eachother. It confuses people.
