Upgrades: Fun with General Modules and windows! (and maybe LKMs, too!)

[Kalevera]

Hey guys...

A few weeks ago, I was doing a few things on Rob's euro M5T (build date sometime during MY 1994 -- I forget the exact month) and inadvertently discovered that the *passenger* side window had both auto down and UP. I thought, "SWEET! -- I wonder if it's a window switch or GM thing!"

Later, as in yesterday, I discovered that ALL e32 and e34 general modules are not only interchangeable, but also that the GM controls the behavior of most ZKE functions (central body electrics).....HHHmmmm!

I pulled the GM from a '94 740 parts car in the lot and installed it -- awesome...now all windows have one touch down! But, beyond the driver's, none have one touch up.

My thinking here is that the euro cars GOT that feature, but perhaps the US didn't for some silly reason, such as legislation. Can you late E34 euro car guys confirm that you've got one touch up on the pass front window (don't know about rears)? I've got one more thing to check on the 740: I didn't swap the relay module, and it might be necessary, I suppose, for one touch up to work on the other windows.

EDIT: after doing some more thinking and reading about the subject, I don't think any US E34 or E32 got passenger one touch up -- I've never seen it on a US E32 or E34...run into it all the time on US E36 and up, which also don't seem to have that silly "two at a time windows or sunroof only" constraint on opening or closing said items...

Finally: the euro LKM. I've heard, but never actually seen, that the fogs stay on with the brights. Perhaps this is a *specific* country thing (australia vs some countries in Europe)?

Happy weekend! (tee hee)

best, whit
