I just impulsively bought this. Thank you.
Which video did you see? Cause this is E46 Touring Rear Glass... You don't touch the locking mechanism.
323i Touring (Selena)
Hey Guys! Here's my E46 323i Wagon (2000)! She's been in the family since around 2003 with 49,000 miles on the ODO when my parents purchased it for $19,000USD. It has been sitting since 2014, drove probably couple times in 2016. But it's been sitting for quite a bit. (This is an issue when your dad has 7 cars in the driveway). I'm beyond thrilled that it has been passed down to me. I grew up in the back seat. I always loved the E46 chassis, but specifically the touring. Currently has 119,200 miles. Everything is original. There's quite a bit of work that needs to be done. Already dumped 1,500 miles since late August. I will be putting her in storage for winter, living in Upstate New York is brutal on vehicles during Winter. Anyway here is the current projects and future project!
Some Info:
Paint is quite rough, there is a couple dent's on the roof from an outside garage collapsing on it one winter, pretty deep scratches around the rear and front.
Current Repair List:
- Replace Brake Light Switch
- Replace Struts/Springs
- Fluid Flush on Everything
Completed Repairs:
- Change Front Right Corner Light Socket (it got corroded)
Future Plans:
- Double Din Radio

- Bit of bodywork to do, might need a good paint correction and some spots resprayed, including some surface rust to deal with.
- Give the interior a good clean, including leather seats.
- Change Corner Lenses, Side Markers, Rear Tail Lights to Euro Spec
- E46 Sport Steering Wheel, Current looks outdated.
- New set of wheels, current ones are a bit curbed rashed, and I never really them.
- replace front bumper with MTech 1 or 2 Front Bumper.
- Coilovers

As mentioned in the video, you can code the car to use the 3rd button on the FOB to open the rear glass. Stock US config is for the button to open the whole hatch. Opening the whole hatch would still be possible via the normal button above the plate or the one in the kick panel.
It should be codeable via PA soft. I know its codeable via NCS, on a per-key basis (Key 1-4).
Its part of the GM5:
HECKSCHEIBE_ENTR_SENDER_1 - CAR/KEY MEMORY 1 FOR RELEASE TOURING REAR WINDOW
Aktiv = Unlock glass with the FOB
Nicht Aktiv = Unlock the whole tailgate.
You want "Aktiv" if you delete the button by the wiper or there will be no way to open the glass.
Edit: For future readers, as noted below other touring owners have indicated to me that their cars were coded to open the glass on keyfob push.

I have small fingers, so it'll be fine for me.

Finally received these M3 Mirrors Reps (that fit sedan/tourings w/ autofold function) I bought 2 months ago. Excited to see how it looks! I guess next step is doing M3 Fenders? and a S54?
So my power steering lines went from seeping to actually leaking, thought I could wait a bit longer but nopeee.... 🙄 found a puddle of ATF. With that said.. I went overkill and bought Chase Bays Power Steering Kit (-6AN stainless steel, Teflon PTFE lined, and black PVC coated), this should give me a piece of mind for the next 10 years? Haha! Also finally replacing fuel pump... more or less preventive? Currently at 136k and this will give me piece of mind of it not failing any time soon.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like these M3 Mirrors, However... They look fantastic!

I did! Here is a comparison stock vs m3 rep. They are maybe a little narrower? But with the Auto-Fold it makes it so much easier to get out of my garage.
