    3 Main Relays on engine harness?

    Im missing all three...m50 vanos motor

    Fuel pump, DME, and o2 heater? I cant find decent part numbers or anything for them. These are the last parts I need to try and start this thing..:???::???::???:

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    I believe that they are the exact same relays as the ones under your hood in your fuse box. Any autoparts store will carry them. They are quite common.

      the main relay is not the same as any in the fuse box, it's a double 87 output relay.

      you can get them from pelican parts. the main relay should be white.

          Discontinue this thinking immediately.

          BMW uses only 1 "normal" pin configuration...and it is not common.

          Closing SOON!

            I know there there not standard...the white main relay is easy, the other two are both 4-pin and I think there both the orange relays on bavauto.

              Sorry for the misinformation, I kind of alway thought that the orange relays were all the same. Never really looked at them I guess. T:-?
