did you look at the link?

you need to install the M20's sensor(im not sure if the M10 is the same; single connector brown head sensor?) on the m50, then hook it up like it was.

So i need a new number 6 with only one pin on it? this drawing is a 1986 M10,, :crazy:

you need 1 of 12621710512

Trace the body wire, and use a DMM to find where the engine loom wire goes.

Well ive been checking this out,, I have a red/white wire and a brown wire on the front temp sensor, thats the one for the guage right? I have the adapter made by Gregslow 318i, and it puts Pin number 4 on e30 side to the right pin on e34 side, and then there is a voilet/purple wire that i cant trace,, anyone got any clue what thats for? should i just cut it and wire it into the red/white one? :-?
