Not sure what motor they fit, but not for my M30B32, which takes M8 instead :-"

Re: Rear window only goes down, never up

You might want to try cleaning the switch itself :-k

After working on my passenger side motor, the window was still slow moving :-?

But cleaning the switch with a quality electronic contact cleaner, it moves up and down as it should, now \:D/

Re: WTB Passenger Front Fender E24

Looks like (1) PN from 77-89
That doesn't sound correct, the later series 2 cars have bigger/wider fender flares than the series 1 version :-k

Not doubting you, but realoem isn't always correct :-?

Re: Rocinante Redux

Why did you decide to paint it? Most painted parts in a BMW engine bay are black.
Scott, I have a lot of blue touches under the hood, so that's why I painted the new M/C :roll:

Plus it's close to Bavarian blue #-o

sideshowbob, I had a similar situation wherein the bonnet would not pop up after releasing the hold down lever, even with new gas struts :-k
