Blackie 510 Report post Posted May 19, 2019 Hi all, I'm currently swapping an M52B28 engine from an automatic 328i into my factory manual 316(t)I compact. I did a stella job of labelling everything with a number and then assigning that number to a detailed description of where it went and what it did in a spread sheet. Unfortunately I then went a wiped the laptop it was saved on before giving it to my wife to use for her business! So, I am at a loss as to which plug is for the engine and which is for the transmission. I plugged up the black one to the chassis and it fitted, but I saw a youtube video where someone plugged the one with the white ring. Do they both fit? How do I identify which is which? (not my picture btw). Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
