    Trying to relocate the power window switches for track car, need wire diagram

    Hey guys, this is my first time posting. Hoping this works. I have a 2004 E46 M3 coupe track car. It still has its power windows in the front(for now). I have gotten rid of the center console which requires me to relocate the window switches. There are two switches per side, front and back which I am guessing was a tilt out window that no longer opens. I now only want one switch per side, the switch box is too large for me to relocate. I have noticed six colored wires going into the harness that plugs into the back of each double switch. Does any one know a way of me buying a simple small single switch and attaching only the wires I need for each window? I figure a window switch wire diagram would help but also didn't know how specialized the switch would need to be. It only needs to go up and down. Not worried about the full up or down option if that helps. Thanks in advance for any ideas on this.

    Thank you. Do you happen to know if I can buy a 5 pin single universal switch off Amazon and have it work my front windows? I think getting a switch to make it go up and down isn't a problem I'm only concerned about the fact the windows come down a little bit when you open the doors. Didn't know if that was controlled by the switch or if that is somewhere else in the system.

    The factory switches are just that, switches. The General Module 5 (GM5) controls the windows. It’s located above the fuse panel in the dash.
