    I got that too, so it's probably an Euro thing. It doesn't work, though, because the headlights have been replaced with fancier ones with no adjustability. I've been thinking of wiring that switch to something else, if I can just figure out what.

    Well that's only in Germany and the unrestricted sections become harder and harder to find.

    I returned from Germany last week and only have been on short sections of unrestricted Autobahn, but it was too crowded for top speed runs.

    That counts as finnish. Close enough.

    That's sad, I remember when my older cousin still had his 1989 Honda Prelude and worked in Germany, he told me how he drove 120mph every morning and afternoon on the Autobahn on his trips to work and back. He had a about 30 miles to work but his trips never lasted more than 20 minutes.
    He wrecked that Prelude a month after moving back to Finland.

    Controls for some interior ambient lighting and the other button is for rear power sunshade.

    Also I think it is very rare: exterior Motorsport iluminated door handles and interior iluminated door handles.

    He didn't. He made it all himself. Come on did you really think BMW would put switches in these places?

    It's all custom made by him. Check his topic in the Rides & Style section.

    M3C: have you, or are you planning on getting seat memory working? I'm trying to do this.

    The Becker unit is nice and so are rear coupe electric windows, but not really rare. Try the original in-dash navigation unit for rarity.

    Dealer only I'm afraid. They sometimes pop-up on ebay, but most have cracks in the clearcoat or delaminated.

    Better bring your bank account if you want the center console.

    Re

    I just did mods that I wanted and kind of liked them, there are well over 70 mods done here and still this M3 looks and is so much factory stock.
    Motorsport handles are expensive (got them from BMW) but I added the ilumination just to be in par with the newest BMW models that have this special feature.

    I am going to list few more rare parts and some are so rare that I think no other E36 (M3) to date has them.

    -Special design sunroof motor cover with BMW Homelink, front domelight from E39 M5 with illuminated buttons, bluetooth hands free phone mic.
    -Rear headlining domelight with illuminated control buttons.
    -Glovebox mounted BMW USB socket for MP3 audio,
    -Center console BMW USB iphone charger + Audio Aux-In, all illuminated

    M3C, I've been poring over threads from guys like you, MParallel, Joylove, Bluebook, and johnf regarding lighting mods lately. I've read countless threads and seen hundreds of pictures but I have to ask, can you tell me precisely what the buttons on your doors and seats do to control the interior lighting?

    I'm in the process of installing puddle lights and an E39 dome light (opted for lights on with door open) so I'm curious how exactly you are able to disable the lights with the doors open. I will have my puddle lights on each of the 4 doors connected to the door microswitches to only turn on when that door is open but a master kill-switch is important. I am planning on doing that with arduino but I am always wondering how other people did it.
    Yoy.
