Hi guys

I am looking for a window lifter switch. mine broke off.

Do any of you have a switch at home? I'm looking for the mechanical part. Electronic switch unit is fine.

Edit: Checked it again now, it's the whole switch unit to be replaced, or the top half with the buttons. either way, i need the whole thing as shown below:

most scrap yards with e46s will have these.

You cant really get the mechanical piece only. but the going price for the single window switches are around R150 - R200 (second hand of course)... The switch with the locking mechanism (driver side on the Centre Console) is roughly R250 - R350..


I bought these for my previous e46's. Quick and easy to fit. And at the prices mentioned above, theyre pretty affordable also.


EDIT: Ahh. Now I see. Its for an E90... Sorry bud not sure what the price will be but you should try MD House (Wynberg) or Bemows (Pretoria). They should have these parts.

Well, in that case, grab it and try it. If it doesn't work, at least it did not cost you money.

When mine failed, I got a soldering iron and welded the plastic back together.

It's pretty easy, and I used a bit of sacrificial plastic to add bulk to the fractured area (the bit around the hinge pin is what broke)

I think Sank did something similar as well on his 330

butttt.......

I barely know how to use an iron, let alone a Soldering Iron! :roflol:

Just came back from MD house now for the exact same thing Divio. My drivers window switch broke off this past weekend.

MD house want R250 to fix it. Not a replacement. They don't have any.

R250 to fix? The guy at the counter said it would take him 2 minutes.

I told him to get lost. I can get a 2nd hand one from City Deep scrap yard for R220 and its the full mechanism for both the front and back drivers side windows. He wants to charge R250 to just stick my original button back on???

Some oaks.

I have an extra switch for drivers side of e90....when I had my windows tinted the idiots sprayed water on the switch and board inside got fried.

I bought a second hand complete switch for R350 and only used the board inside.....

You you can come and collect the switch for free. The whole unit is intact.
