As above really, how easy are cars with non-electric windows to come by? Can't say I've seen one ever really. Also, do the electric motors etc. really weigh that much more than the mechanicals in non electric ones? Cheers.

Next week I'm picking up a 1987 D with manual windows, non power steering, man sun roof and it's Chrometastic !
Previously owned loads of old E30s, E34s, a few E36s, E32s, E39s and an E38.
Currently in a diesel Audi - miss me old E30's....

I'm looking into getting something I can gradually build into a track car/fast road weekend toy, that's why I ask, the less weight the better! It will be a very slow working progress, so hopefully by the time it's finished, I can afford to insure it, whatever type of engine I drop in it

No I think they mean that til 1988, electric windows were an optional extra.snoops wrote:my dads 2 door 1983 320i had electric windows
