Hey whats up everybody, my name is colton i'm the new owner of a 93 325i sedan

Just thought i'd introduce myself and some of the problems with car maybe i can get some help

Car won't go in reverse or drive (its an automatic im gettin ready to swap for a manual tranny, it'd be nice if i could fix the automatic so i could at least drive it, if anyones had this problem i'd appreciate some help), back right window won't go up will only go down (motor problem im guessin), certain electrical problems (speakers comin in and out, control for back right window on front console doesn't work either, right turn signal is out and the display for the right blinker also doesn't work), it smells a little of gas, sunroof will not work

most of these are easy fixes, i bought the car for $900 and other than what i've listed the car is in great shape

For what seems to be your window and sunroof problems, look into the Comfort Control Module fix, takes maybe 15 minutes if you can solder. Use the Search feature up top.

Turn signal display is probably just a bulb and the back right window, try swapping the window switch with the other side and if it goes up and down then, all you need is a new switch.

Welcome!

your window going down, but not up is probably in the switch. I've taken mine abart before b/c they quit working. take a switch off of one of the windows that does work and trade it with one that does not work. if it goes up, its the switch. What probably happened was the little plastic post on the back side of the switch that pushes the button broke off. also check your fuses and make sure all of them are good. but good luck fixin up your car.
