Hi All
My '89 320 cab needs a new one I think. Its intermitently killing power to the windows in the off postion.
Wiggle it a bit and and the lights on the window lift switches come on and off.
Anyone know where I can get a new/used one?
The ones on ebay are like £70.
ooff.

You must have found Jim's ebay shop!
Stick an ad. in parts wanted, and someone will come up with one for a pound or two.
They are normally very reliable ( as long as they're not used as a switch), although ones with an unmarked symbol on them may command a higher price.
Are you sure the wires are pushed on the back properly? BMW under specified the plugs for this particular item, and they've been known to fall off.
