If you want the wires, you'll have to follow them along from the switches and cut them out from the loom.
Most E30s already have the loom fitted. Have a look under the centre console for the switches.
If you dont have the wiring already, it'll probably be easier to run new two core cable to the doors from the console, through the hole in the door plug/sockets, in the same manner as the dealer retrofit windows.
I don't think E46 switches are likely to work, as, AFAIK, E46 switches just input signals to a computer.
Some E36 switches will work.
