Did you connect them up to the main loom at the B-Pillar?:D

Do the rear switches light up?

Check the child cut-off switch isn't in top left of your console.

Also try swapping the switches with the one's from the fronts.

It's a square push button switch. Connector will be waiting for you under the console, cutting lines are marked underneath the console.
The rear switches won't work without it.

I can send you one if you don't have one. They're worth nothing and available from BMW or eBay for pence.

Good luck cutting a neat square out of that console foam shite - better off seeing if you can find a console that was cut for 4 x power windows in the first place.
