    Almost done with the swap, unknown plug

    Ok, so I'm finishing buttoning up my M50TU swap and have found a 2-pin plug that I can't seem to identify. The car the the motor and wiring came from was a 1994 325is 5-speed. The wire colors coming from it are green/white stripe and blue/yellow stripe. It comes out right before the O2 sensor wiring plug.

    Have been searching the ETM and can't seem to find anything. Any help would be much appreciated!

      It "is" the reverse switch. Should be on the right side (passenger side) of the transmission.

        I didn't have my swap info on me to check the colors but yeah you just ignore that plug.

          Shit, thanks for the quick response guys. I thought that was what it might have been right after I posted.

          So what should I do about the regular E30 body plug that comes up through the shift console?

            What I did for my swap was, I cut the e36 reverse plug leaving 4 inches of wire and spliced it into my e30 reverse switch wires (the ones that come through the shift boot). Green with green and i forget the other color. Works like a charm. Just be sure to seal off the open wires from the harness.
