Yeah, early model 318s are about the only place you'll see them in the US. Mine came with power but I just reverted to manual and my donor was another '84.
We saw 3 or 4 cars in the yard we went to last weekend that had complete crank window assemblies, including door cards. I was half-tempted to grab a coupe setup just to see what all was involved, but I decided it wasn't worth the effort.

I want to "unpimp" my 318i and put power windows in from my 325i..... even if I did the glass/motors swap, there is still lack of wiring in the 318i.... hmm

That I am picking up this weekend.
Hemingway said it best. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.”

The swap itself is VERY easy, at least on the early cars. I took some pictures to do a write up if there was any interest.
All you need on the early cars are the cranks, the regulators, and 4 extra bolts. The glass is the same, and you can just remove the plug on the door cards and use your current ones.
My 87 325 had manual windows. Of course it was originally shipped to Guam. But that is a US possession, so I suppose that it counts as a US car. As for how many were made like that I dunno.
