318is => e36 m50 wiring

[318isbmw]

So has anyone used the pin setup which was posted on page one of this, and does it work. About to setup my car this friday and was wanting to know if its one I should consider going off of or not.
Thanks,
Brendan

weird I didn't have any probs w/ that?

if you have a manual car, you won't have any problems with it.

strange.. i was told that there is no way i can start my engine without fooled dme about park/neutral gear.

You are correct. You need to fool the car into thinking it is in neutral and park. That is what the second part of Mike's post says.

another strange thing is that my wipers shake a little bit (just moves a little) when i turn key to pos1 (pos0 inserted, pos1 turned, pos2 ign, pos3 ign+starter)
could it be missed ground somewhere?

That guy's chart is the same one that's been floating around on the internet for a while now. If you use his diagram the ABS won't work.

btw how do you make it work? lol

the DMEs are the same but automatic cars have a relay that will disable the ignition unless it is in park.

sorry for old thread renewal, but did You find how to by pass the DME thinking that the transmission is always in park or neutral?

Arnas.

the auto and manual DME's are the same

Also my engine was off an auto e36 and the harness has two plugs like the dme. One is for the dme but what is the other for?

This diagram should be sufficient. I am wiring up my 318is tonight and this is the final config that I am going to use.

The wire colors were taken directly from the C101 and x20 connectors that I have. The E36 functions were derived from Mike B's diagram, which mirrored my own diagram at home (which I don't have handy right now). The E30 functions were derived from the ETM.

C101 Pin 8 (white) is the only wire I couldn't find the function to. The C101 wires labeled 325i are the ones that are the same colors as the late model 325i and were assumed to perform the same function. This was out of necessity, as the ETM for the 318is isn't that helpful, or at least the copy I had wasn't very helpful in that regard.

oh shit, the wiring harness info I sent you is if you cut the harness connection off the engine harness so its abit different. I'll send you the correct one on monday.
