New Z3 3.0i owner in Fresno, CA

[SPE3D]

Hello everyone. I just picked up this 2001 Z3 3.0i 5-speed a few days ago.
After 3 days, I was blessed with both windows simultaneously becoming stuck in the down position. Switches and relay in glove box are clicking, no noise from motors.

Despite this issue, I absolutely love this thing so far!

Hi and welcome from me near Lincoln, UK. That’s a good looking car you found. I can’t personally help with the window problem but no doubt someone will before long.

Thanks for the welcome!
Check this out! Turned out to be a very easy fix.
I narrowed the issue down to the ZKE, went digging and found this:

NO ZKE!!!

And a letter fell out with wiring diagrams that allowed me to fix it. Just a fuse blown from me running the windows simultaneously while needing vary badly to be lubed.
