The early ones had a different plug set up. 82/83. But you can get around it.

According to realOEM there are separate part numbers for each door, front left and right and rear left and right, but for a given door the same motor is used on all e28s.

Yes and no, same motor, but the early ones plug is different. The plastic piece that is attached to(pushed on) the motor, on the later style(after 1982) is glued on it the motor and you have the plastic plug that goes on to the harness.

South, my friend Walter needs a drivers door motor for his '87 528e He doesn't need the regulator just the motor.IIRC I have a regulator with a motor somewhere in my shed.No clue as what it was. I can rob B6II for it but it would be simpler to buy one from you. I want to keep this campaigner on the road. Haz? :cool:
