Do you have manual front window mechanisms? I'm after two (left and right if they are handed).

Ach that's nothing, I did Glasgow - Silverstone - Guildford - Scarborough - Glasgow in 19 hours one day in my 325i touring - 956 miles.

Didn't miss a beat, did cost a lot in fuel though.

Did Glasgow - Swansea - Glasgow one Sunday too, in the 325i to buy an e36.
