Fairly obvious if you get the E34 motors. Almost, but not quite, a direct swap for the hydraulic units.
Three wire on each motor and three wires on the control knob. Connect one wire of all three to earth, connect one wire of all three to 12 volts, and connect the third wires of all three together.

I don't have any pics, but the motor assemblies look like half size versions of wiper motors, and they fit in exactly the same way as the hydraulic ones, although the spacing of the two mounting holes is different.
