    I think the connector with the cut wires is the donor connector, pins from the actual harness aren't cut.

        bump!

        does anyone know of another place to get the pins from? getbmwparts.com has them for $1.78 a piece, seems like a lot, especially when the other pins are less than $1 each. seems like they marked up the price on the ones that are really needed

            I just paid the dealer whatever the hell they were asking. I learned not to even blink at parts that are less than $100. Cars are an expensive hobby.

              Anyone know where to get the engine harness pins ? Example, the motronic 1.3 pins (ecu pins) and all the pins for injectors etc (all of the pins on the engine sub harness.)

                Just got my order in, purchased everything from Turner Motorsports, cost $45 shipped. Well worth it in my opinion. Now to get the proper crimper tool

                  Does anyone has an idea about the part number of the square engine side harness connector and pins?

                  I'm swapping my 325e engine to a 325i with turbo.
                  But eta is square, 325i is round.

                  I'm trying to keep the eta engine complete, as you never know with a project haha.

                  Cant seem to find the right part number on the bmwfans.info!

                      Been looking for these so thought I would post up in case anyone else needs them...
                      The FEMALE pins for the C101 are as follows:

                      Wire Size: Part Number:
                      0.5-1.0MM- 61-13-1-376-202
                      1.0-2.5MM 61-13-1-376-204
                      2.5-4.0MM 61-13-1-376-206

                        Great info OP! This beats paying 200-450 when covering a harness or making a PnP harness is so easy on your own.

                        I've made a decent pinout chart (IMO) for a 90 E30 to a 98 S52. if anyone wants it let me know.

                                I think you're right. I ordered one a while ago and it wasnt the right part. Decided to search more today and found this...

                                #9 doesnt exist on the list and it looks like the early C101.
