It was the internal paddle switches. In, changing out the paddles, we found the older brittle-ish plastic internal switches were showing their age.Quote:

Received my 10-mm & 12.5-mm spacers from TMS today! Those & my WeissLicht AEs will be going on tomorrow! I'll have to remember to take a good before & after!

Thankfully it's a pretty common tire so I have a matching used one with 70% tread lined up for 80$ mounted and balanced.
Just finish the front driver side window regulator and motor. After some examination it just seems like a weak motor and the regulator is in tach. Either case I replace both parts from the XI into the ZHP. Now I can actually go through a drive thru without opening up the door. Also printed the tweeter grill since the paint had chips.
Not sure if anyone can help me out with this one however while I was there I took some photos of the ribbon setup for the mirror. I was wondering if there has been any attempt to replace the ribbon wiring with just the regular harnesses that are normally found in the other e46. I still have the junk car and all the mirrors are laying around. Just a few thoughts about either replacing the mirrors with non-ribbon ones so I could worry a lot less when it comes to adding the m3/m5 auto folding mirrors.
To replace it with the regular harness, you'd need to replace the harness that runs through the car as well. That ribbon cable just connects up to yet another ribbon cable, which also has relations to the seat memory. It's not as simple as you might think.
It's a lot less work to just swap your mirror motors from your stock E46 mirrors into the M3 housing.
Thanks a lot Botond! Looking forward to seeing your car again. It has been a while.
Getting ready to install my angel eyes! Quick question, though, for those with WeissLichts: what're these modules? Are they unnecessary ballasts that just happened to be thrown in my LED kit?
