    What is the bottom button to the right of headlight switch?

    Can someone let me know what button this is? The one below the fog lights?

    Thanks!

    I believe someone said before that it is the rear foglight button for the euro e36? I may be wrong though..

    I didn't have a second switch on mine, so i placed on a momentary switch to use it as a garage door opener button.

    Pic of my Garage door opener

    Hey guys...

    here is the button i was talking about. I purchased a momentary push button from Radio Shack. the cost was less than 4 dollars.

    I dont know the catalogue number but it's the closest to OEM that i could find.

    how did you do that? I want something like that too. Did you go into the garage opener, connected it to the switch and hid the opener somewhere inside the dash...or am I completely off?

    Wow you made me look at the pic more carefully...it is an E36 M3 GT. A pretty desirable car. The carbon fiber is probably stock, kinda like the US lightweight.

    You can see the green seats with alcantara on the side cushions (Mexico green?) and 7k redline. I think they were 295 hp. An awesome car. I remembered that ben liaw was talking about importing one here. anyone know of any news on that?

    Beautiful car. Rare as hell, too.

    And the conventional HVAC controls on a '98. I thought something was odd...

    How 'bout some more pics of the GT?
