Hi all, will introduce myself proper when I get the car back from the Mrs and take some photos etc. We recently picked up a white 2013 116i Sport, and am already keen on tuning it. This is a second family car, used as a run-a-bout but not a daily. Would like to take it to my mechanic for health check prior to tuning. But my question, after a quick search, has anyone done any DIY tuning with the affordable gear I've seen online from AliExpress? Is it a case of buying a programmer, removing ECU, downloading a file and writing it into the system? Is it worth $1000+ to get it done professionally versus trying to do something for 2-300? Thanks

Hi Guys, So iv got a fully dressed '87-'88 M20B25 with loom and ecu, gearbox etc all with it lined up. The only problem now is the wiring from the C101 plug which is round and has 20 pins, to my rectangular C101 on the '85 323i. I have started to create a pinout chart which ill upload later tonight, theres just a few wires i am unsure where they should go? There is scarce information about 323i's on the internet, as they were Euro spec and well you know, if its not US spec then no one on any of their forums wants to know about it. I also need a bit of help as to what will go to the C104 plug (i understand this is for the cluster side of things). There is a round connection on the bulkhead by the passenger side, i know this isnt a C101 as i have an earlier car but i was wondering what it actually is. Any wiring help would be much appreciated. Ill upload my chart so far later on. This is the first time iv done anything near this intense mechnically, but thought id try my hand at it. I havent got the engine yet but will have it in a month, so i thought its best to prepare everything now so that its easier when i have everything. The 323i L-Jet wasnt the best starting place but its what i have to work with so ill do my best to make it work. If any of you guys are around Central/West Auckland, and know about the wiring id be real keen to have some help when the engine is dropped in. i HATE electrical systems and having not much experience doesnt really help my cause. Im sure with some help i can get this done successfully, so cheers for any help you can provide me with! Also i know the connector changes around the time this engine was built, so i will check again and confirm. This will probably be the same thread i ask lots of electrical questions over the time of the swap. Thanks!

I encountered a little issue with a bmw of mine, a 1996 328i coupe. Cutting a long story short, the car doesn't start, no ignition, even typical dash telemetry doesn't appear, apart from seatbelt light, and illumination of cluster ( speedometer / mileage ) counter. No fuel pump initiation. Lights work, radio turns on, fog lights don't work, all this started as an intermittent problem where i'd turn the key, and nothing would happen, sometimes for hours or days, out of the blue, you turn the key and Vroom! Lol. First thing i pondered, was the battery? Obvious starting point, but battery is fine with my other bmws? . I have had a look at the fuses and cannot see anything that is blown, checked relays, i see main system relay looks slightly discoloured , along with fuel pump relay. I switched those out with another 1996 328i relay with same relays, but no success. After reading on the net over the past months, it seems that i may have an EWS issue, i haven't got a scan tool to check any codes, but will acquire one soon, any thoughts are much appreciated. Wondering if i should book the car into BMWorkshop? Or does anyone know of a reputable outfit that is experienced / capable of resolving such a thing. Thank you, Peter.
