Thanks but i was thinking something about original retrofit from a car that already has the time delay originaly. theks for the welcome jose

I dont think so

smithy318i homemade ones are based around the original relay and come in 8 or 15 second delays

i doubt anything from newer beemers would work, did e36 have delay?

Yes. Plug in an E30 interior light relay.

Welcombe to the zone on behalf of the management.
There are two versions of the delay unit, early and late. They are interchangeable and work exactly the same. I've found the early version in the odd E28 5 series as an option. Tucked up around the base of the steering column, IIRC.
Smithy318i's version is a copy of the BMW original, at a fraction of the new price.
He could be on to quite a little winner here.
