IIRC doesn't the coupe/sedan have 4 switch locations on next to the shifter? I think that red coupe you posted before had the switch next to the shifter. In a Ti you'd have to create a new place (next to the ASCT for example). __________________

yes yes you are correct. just like back window switches for a 4 door that control the poppers instead of windows!  __________________

AWESOME pics! So the drive shaft is felexible!
But where does the motor mount?
You know it just occurred to me that the mount on the window itself can be rotated to horizontal (likely). Then could one use the exact same mounting position as the coupe (more horizontal). The rear soft trim cover would probably cover no problem. I also wonder what the seatbelt anchor mounts look like? Could the latch use those mounts?
Edit- looks like the seat against the window glass has a square hole? The glass likely has a round hole though. __________________

K, just finished reading the last 5 pages of posts... This mod looks wicked. I actually didn't even know my window could pop open until I got my tint done (2 years after getting my car). I hope someone gives this a go and gets it to work for less then 400$. I might just have to try it myself! Good luck with this! | | | | | 03-06-2008, 03:12 AM | #71 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2007 Location: Calgary/Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Posts: 379 |

if there's a will, there's a way. i'm sure it can be done, likely with mods to the way the coupe electric opener mounts (stock ti is vertical, not horizontal). my idea would be to route the flexible shaft into the rear hatch area instead of the area behind the rear passenger side trim.
EDIT: if my parts list is correct, somewhere i have a coupe manual latch that i bought to compare to the ti so i could see if this would be feasible. at some point i'll dig it out and take pics of both. __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles

that will be the decider in my opinion.
The motors and shafts can be located anywhere.. but the latch is where it needs to be 100 % or it will never close probably __________________

This seemed to be the most complete thread for this notion of electic vent widows, so I'm reviving this one. I'll be moving to Portugal in a couple months, and I'm going to hunt down the parts from an E46/5 318ti. http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?...94&hg=51&fg=05 I'm determined to make those parts fit - I'll let everyone know how it all sorts out by Summer. __________________
