Mystery E36 Dash Button Found!

[Delmarco]

Okay some of you may remember that a member here bought a mid 1990s 325i car and it had an OEM "electrical ciruit breaker" switch on a weird part of the E36 dash. And no other E36 owner claimed up to ever seeing such a button or heard of a button being located at that section of the dash...
anyway diagrams were posted, and photoshopped pictures were created to show us the "location" of the button...since it was such an odd thing....

anyway I was just cruising thru EBAY andguess what I found on a 1993 red 325i:

anyway my point is I guess the guy was right after all about his car having this button, even though we all tarred and feathered him for hearesy!

You mean no one has that button? Because I have it . . cuts the power to the windows.

Wow, now you guys have the stupid button.

BTW, why is there wood? Nasty nasty fake wood trim...

THe speedo on tat 325 goes up to 160mph! The one on my 328 only goes up to 155... hmmm. Oh, and you can tell thatperson got some kind of a cheap aftermarket wood trim.

my cars a right hand drive nd the speedo is in km/h!

thts so random, i wonder how they decided wht cars have it nd wht ones dnt, oh well they decided not 2 put front fog lights into mine :@ i rather have them than a stupid button!!!!

[jetblack]

That wood is disgusting. Whatever they were trying to do with it, they failed miserably.

Humm... mine is the same as thekids setup. Also mine fuel per mile gauge is in MPG not L/KmG

[drz]

All US models are MPG. Most of the rest of the world has L/100km

didn't see the metric action going on there. Perhaps euros have the fog light switches there. Maybe that mystery is solved.

Drug dealers here are up to speed. They deal grams and kilos, and many carry 9mm pistols.
