Looking for $450 in Hawkes Bay

Any one got one of these lying around they can give us or sell cheap. Condition doesn't concern. Cheers

Has anyone got one of these in the hawkes bay area I could borrow. Or anyone with a cheap one I can buy. Has to have EWS removed

Hi there, Just done a swap. Think I bought a faulty non DME from the net for my e30 m52 all it does is make the fuel pump relay click like a machine gun then do nothing. I use my original Ms41.1 unit that came with the donor car and it primes the fuel system. then from there no fire at all. I broke the donor cars key apart last night and wnet through it with a fine tooth comb. There is no transponder in it anywhere. Is it possible the car doesn't even have EWS? It is a 1995 M sport e36 M52 328i. Is there anything else I could be missing? I bought some scanning equipment but the cheap thing doesn't seem to work

$450 or near offer.

I've checked all my wiring. Tried it with 2 different DME's and nothing. One DME has EWS and my car hasn't got the transponder would this affect anything?

Can anyone shed some light? Some people have said e36's start with or without trans ecu and other people have said the brwn/blk wire sorted it out for them

Having an issue with an M52 swap. Engine cranking but no fuel and probably no spark delivery. Putting it down to engine ECU not having correct signal from auto trans ECU. Found out I had to splice a wire in after I trimmed down my engine loom. Looking for Brown black wire that comes from auto transmission ECU as I chopped everything out of my engine loom which was related to the automatic transmission ECU which was stupid. I've got the harness from the Auto trans ECU and it shows a brown/black wire but I'm having trouble looking for it on the engine loom side so I can splice it into any red/white wire as I assume this makes the engine ecu constantly think its in park and safe to start. Is there a diagram someone can put me on to in order to find it? I've undone my engine loom and most of the wires I cut I left length on and wrapped them so I could join back on if something went wrong but I can' find this little brown/black bugger. "If you ended up with a harness out of an automatic car simply cut all of the wires out of the engine harness that belong to the automatic transmission computer. Automatic transmission computer is wired directly to the engine computer harness; the only wire that needs to be modified is a “brown/black wire pin 26 transmission ECU”. It needs to be connected to any “red/white" wire on the main relay."http://www.rmeuropean.com/bmw-e30-m50-swap.aspxI've found my old transmission ECU harness I removed and it has exactly this wire coming from it. I can see most of the wires I've cut pertaining to the auto trans ECU but that brown/black one is no where to be found. Does it come into the auto trans ECU as brown/black then back out of the auto trans ECU as a different wire going into the engine harness?I've checked all wiring and I'm using a DME that has EWS delete remapped for M3 exhaust and m50 intake I bought from ebay so I'm running out of things that could be wrong. Other wise its the DME/CPS thats bad or both. I would really like to eliminate this Automatic Transmission Range switch though but if all e36's will start without trans ECU then I'm stumped. thanks

Yep checked that. I've got a test hose hooked up to the fuel filter to show me exactly when fuel will come out so I know I'm on the right track. Apparently according to the Bentley manual the brown/black wire in the loom is related to an Automatic Transmission Range switch. I'm assuming this tells everything that the car is in park and is ok to start?

Want $450 for it, good condition just bare box

Has this gone? Am in Napier can pick this up.

Anyone got one of these? Not keen to buy from overseas

Ok thanks for the help! Was a little paranoid I'd start a fire or something. Do you know where those other cables go in the second pic? One comes from the DME and the other comes up from the engine loom. They would be (+) battery wouldn't they? Thanks

Sorry if these seem a bit dumb and I have been searching on google for the answers but I've got some free time this weekend and I thought it better to just ask the knowledgeable folks on here because I'm not finding much maybe just thick. I can't find out where the single pinned e30 temp gauge sensor wires into the m52 engine side loom. I'm thinking it goes onto the engines gauge sender? Although I can't see a single sensor on the M52 engine that looks as though its just for the gauge. So I'm guessing there is a sensor that goes to the gauge in an original M52 car that does other things as well and has a few wires coming out of it? Is the idea to find what ever sends the info to the gauge on the engine and cut that off and connect it to the e30 sensor so it gets the feed from there? Also really amateur mistake I made. Just disconnected the positive and negative cables on my E36 donor and didn't mark any so now have no idea where the cables go to on the battery posts in my engine bay... The one that comes from my E30 fuse box, does that go to the positive post? There are two more coming from the engine side loom I have no idea where they go. Are they all positive cables? And the battery is simply just grounded with one ground strap? here is a picture: I marked the cable that connects to the alternator but just to make sure I'll ask here... Does the alternator and the starter have a thick cable connecting the two? If so, does there need to be a thick positive cable coming from the positive battery post running down to the starter solenoid? Thanks for helping a dummy get his engine swap sorted.

Oh dear...

Could I re use the original m40 one for now?

Oh sweet, good info. I have a good e36 rad because Ive got a whole donor car so I'll just re use that for the time being. I was thinking of getting a fenix full alloy rad later on when I iron out the e30's creases. For now I'd just like to get it going. I'm quite keen on the bubble looking later model one that looks like this: By the way, are there any extra mounts I'll need for that expansion tank? My e30 was originally an m40 with the expansion tank on the rad

Haha yeah theres always a next thing! I might just use a poddy to simplyfy things

I'm using e36 Radiator and I believe that works well with the M20 E30 expansion tank?

Would help me if the air box is attached too as the whole units gone walk about. Plz

Wow, that wing looks awesome. Nice car.
