As KW355 post I did the same but have wondered if the E46 one would fit?

They are about a fiver to buy from ebay.

That's y I ask. I've fitted e30 and e30 specific ones from George in the USA but not one from another model bm.

Am just going to buy one and see. £1.85 from China is the cheapest.

IIRC I used an E36 one from as local breakers. Remember to get the plug and a bit of wiring with it,to splice into the existing loom

Yer but im sure you can just try it out with a few spade connectors and a pliers etc I bet that china one is the same as the £5 ones but they added the few weeks waiting cost to it for un-patient folk like me.

Let us know if your loom blows up in smoke or indeed if it works
