Hi Krugaercsi,
Are you sure it's the switch that's at fault? More likely to be the wiring. Is your Motorsport Edition Misano Red, Macau Blue or Nogaro Silver? |

hi andyS, The car is macau blue, the seat switches are missing and the wiring loom has been cut, the seats work in the aid of a wire from 12V supply to individual motors on base of seat, but i want to put my baby back to original if poss. P.S. made a boob with wheels, too big an inset, need to put spacers on front, you wouldn:t happen to know the proper inset size offhand?krugaercsi.. |

All the switches are available from BMW (at an exhorbitant price). I've probably got most of the wiring if you need it.

An '88 - '90 E32 7-series, 8-series or well-specced E34 5-series should provide the switches. Wheel-wise, I'm using 8x17/9x17 Style 32's from an E39 540 Sport (with concentric hub rings). These fit fine with 255/40 tyres on the rear. This style was also available on the E46 3-series & in 18" on the E38 7-series. Sounds like you have the E46 ones which have very little external dish (it's all on the inside). Any wheel from an E34 5-series, E32 7-series, 8-series & (with hub rings) E39 5-series will fit. Rather than mess around with spacers I'd move the wheels on & get the right fit.

go to the online catalogue site, http://www.realoem.com/bmw/, find the switches you need and then check the part numbers for commonality with other BMW models, that way you may find a wider search area
