S50 into e30 m3 wire harness connector

[m3j0n]

I was told that (328ijunkie) Dave at Markert Motorworks makes these connectors. I have emailed him over the last couple of weeks. He has acknowledged receiving my PMs and emails, but has not responded regarding the connector. Is there anyone else that makes these PnP connectors? Thank you!

[m3j0n]

Ian from Markert just got back to me. Any other sources to get this connector from?

adapters? I make them too

OBD1 is $200

yes, looking to plug my s50 obdi into my e30 m3.

yep. the only wild card is the oil temp gauge. I can add a wire for that of course, but I don't know how long the sensor wire needs to be or what kind of connector in it. I'm guessing it's likely a standard 2-pin AMP connector?

ok, how do I figure that out?

well, assuming you're going to swap that sensor over to your new motor - go take a pic of it. I can estimate the length of wire needed from it's position in the engine bay, on think on S50s it goes on the oil filter housing, which is about 4 feet of wire.

I don't have a motor in the chassis... So that might be difficult. lol. Can I just buy a new oem sensor for an e30 m3 and have it wired in?

[nando]

yeah of course, it's commonly done.

I can estimate wire length without the motor in your car, I just need to know what kind of connector it requires. I can pre-wire it all so you just plug it in.

looking to source one now, but having some difficulty. are you POSITIVE it is a oil temperature sensor? My catalog is only showing oil pressure. Let me know. thanks.

[nando]

edit: actually no, I was right - it's a temp sensor

the pressure sensor is just the switch for the dummy light.

looks like a 3 pin standard AMP connector. I've got tons of those. :)

[m3j0n]

sorry, pressure. that's what I meant.

This looks like the sensor I am showing. Does that seem right to you? thanks!

P/N: 12617620512

shows as the same part for 95 m3 (s50) and 90 M3 (s14)

[nando]

12611309193 is the part # for the temp sensor gauge. the other one is the dummy light switch.

re-pin your stock X20.
You can buy the connector and pins from BMW. We did an OBD2 S52 with S50 bottom end into an E30 M3 last week.
