            Don't bother, M50 engines don't fit E30s.

                  Is it your auto trans computer or your diagnostic connector?

                  You should do some reading first, because if this is your first question. You will have MANY more.

                            Post a pic!

                            all wiring diagrams etc here:



                            You need a multimeter. The plugs that look the same are diagnostic connector, body plug and auto tranny plug. The one with the cover over it is diag. Auto computer and dme are te rectangular ones.

                            Read these: (all the way through)
