    Manual E30 windows.... Normal?

    Is it normal for US E30's to have manual windows in them?

    I sure don't think so anyway. I got the stuff for them from the junkyard today :)

    Not that I know of... at least I've never been in, driven, or owned one w/manual windows. I think they're EXTREMELY rare, kinda the thing you'd have to go nudge the salesman with your elbow and ask for... 8)

        Are you converting to manual windows?

                    Both my 84 318i's have had manual windows. I would say that there are more 1984's with manual than power, judging from my junkyard experiences. The 1985 318i's tend to be optioned up, with PW, cruise, OBC, leather seats, etc. I have never seen an early 318i with power sunroof, however.

                      My '84 318 has power windows and a/c. I never knew there was an option for the early 318s to have cruise control. I'd definitely want to buy an M10 cruise control unit from somebody if there are any available.

                        Ken,
                        I installed cruise and OBC on my 318i. I removed both of them from a 1985 318i. I found another cruise unit in a 318i M10, but the junkyard guy was removing the radiator support with a torch. He proceeded to melt the servo unit. I may be able to salvage some of the parts.
