The front windows have never worked on this car since the day I took delivery. Given that it's a BMW it was never going to be as easy as a fuse or relay like a 'normal' car. I found out that the FRM module controls the front windows, so I took a leap of faith and bought a 'working' replacement from a well know auction website and crossed my fingers.


I managed to find the exact same part number to reduce any issues with compatability of newer models etc, and thought that because I bought it in the UK that it would be froma UK car. As it turns out, it was from a LHD model so the driver window switches actually operated the opposite window. Luckily this was an easy fix, a quick bit of coding in E-SYS and two window re-initialisation's later I had fully functioning front windows.


The only moment I had was disconnecting the battery while the charger was still connected, watch for the light show at the start! What can I say? I'm a muppet, and I got lucky. You can be sure I wont make that mistake again!


So that's it, apart from a general tidy up and some cosmetic work the interior is now done.


For once today is a happy day !!


Happy viewing and thanks for the support.
