Does anyone have one?

might be a "rare" to have on a car as an extra when it was brand new, but a few ppl have them,and you can pick them up still and put it in yourself

Are electric pop outs not a mod done using E34 parts hence the BM part numbers?

Try popping (ha ha) them into OEM and seeing what models they are spec'd on.

Surely rear pop outs would be on a coupe rather than a saloon with wind down windows

No I understand what you're getting at but I had got it stuck in my head :mad: that they're off a 5 series and not a 3.

A quick google seems to suggest E46 models are the favoured source of canibalized motors etc.

Alex was right about the electric blind at the pod. Someone made a name your price offer but didn't get it :D

Would be interested in electric pop-outs too. Seem to remember a yellow modded E30 being broken on here earlier these year but it didn't use factory parts

Renault Megan mk1’s have electric rear pop outs and the mechanism is a lot smaller and simpler than that found on E36's E46's so may be easier to retro fit to an e30, that’s if you can use E30 rear window switches with the set up and if you dare fit French parts to an BMW though.
