Thanks for the suggestion to purchase the manual. I have checked Haynes, Chilton and Bentley and they do not publish a manual for the 2000 328i BMW. Their manuals only go to the year 1998 and I understand there is big difference between the '98 series and 2000 bodywork.

Thanks so much for the links to the 3 Series manual by Robert Bentley. I had seen the 1998 verstion, but not the 1999 - 2005. I have just ordered it from Amazon.com. Just today I was talking to a BMW enthusiast and he told me how to change the center console switch: It is very simple really, you just carefully pry it out of its socket with a fine pointed screwdriver. After you pry all around it the switch module just pops out. The new one was only $32.20 plus tax, tag and title !! The least expensive repair job I'll ever encounter on this type of car !!
Thank you most sincerely for all you help with this. Brian.

My pleasure. Enjoy the car (and the wrenching)!
