My friend now thinks they are E36. Can anybody verify?
I'll try to find a chart online, there has to be a way to match the numbers on the glass.
Thanks!

My brother's business partner has some BMW glass he would like to ID. Does anybody here know what model these fit? I am guessing a 633/635, but really, that's just a guess. Thanks!
