Do you have a local BMW club over there in the UK ? I can see your going to need some help with this.

The 1998 motor is out of a e36, ill find out if there is a bmw owners club thanks for all your help been really helpfully

The vin is AL54685 would i have to use my loom and ecu with the new engine

wot is OBDII mate

After 01/95 all cars have EWS.... yours shouldn't. So the engine you have fitted won't work with its ECU.

AN OBDII conversion will get it up and running

Does your 1994 car have EWS ?.. I would need to know this first

Wot is EWS buddy

We would need alot more info to help

What year & model is the car ?

Does it have EWS ?

What computer & wiring loom did you use with the new motor when you fitted it ?

The 1998 motor will be EWS and the computer for that engine may not be compatible with your car.

Feel free to give me a call.

Ooops...you edited your post....

You would also need the EWS unit and micro chips from the keys for the same computer you got with the engine to get it all to work. Or buy computer,EWS & micro chips from the same vehicle and swap them over
