What are the advantages of the E36 window switches? I've seen the write ups for installing them, but noboady ever say what the benefit is. Thanks

Brianthey look nicer and usually don't get sticky

[dude8383]

yeh its a rocker switch basically, its not two separate buttons for the up/down function.

Great work Dennis. Thanks for helping me decide on a suspension. I'll be getting the same setup shortly.

On a side note, how are the both of you doin after the mishap?

[dude8383]

hehe no problem! I'm glad that I could be of assisstance..

Ahhh and as for "us" lol, we are both quite stressed out...I can't drive the car because i got hit in the right rear quarter, and the fender rubs hardcore against the tire. it really sucks because i work and like most of us like to hang out with friends. im lucky i dont have to drive to school, otherwise that'd be killer.

right now im just stuck in a position where i have to wait..

ill post some pics of the damage a little later

[dude8383]

updated pics!!

[asubimmer]

once again, it looks great. MHW smoked turns anywhere in the future?

[dude8383]

im going all red, im not to crazy about the smoked look, however smoked smiles may come sometime in the future, and nogaro paint on the rims...should look pretty noice

[318iEnthusiast]

if you get the smoked smileys you should do the sidemarkers to match... looks good... i'm doing all red tailights and smoked sidemarkers... on a white car tho.. car looks good though! props!

[Eurospec]

Awesome additions. The nagaros will be off the hook... looking forward to that.

When's the engine going in?

[dude8383]

engine is gonna go in when i pull every part from the car so i dont have to worry about shipping parts and what not.

i may consider getting euro trim..but that is a good suggestion

If anyone knows where i can get caps for these, let me know!

[Eurospec]

They look great so far.

In regards to the centercaps, I'd post a WTB thread on the vortex and bump it every so often... it's wheel haven over there :)
