Does anybody actually use my site?

It seems that every wiring related thread I look at there is somebody bashing my wiring diagram (though it worked fine for me, with two different cars,) yet no body offers any corrected information. I'm just trying to get information out and available, instead of coveting it in an egocentric/capitalistic way.

I'm more than willing to give credit where it is due on my website, I really don't care. I am also more than willing to take it down and save $70/year (cheap I know) in hosting fees. Instead of saying "all wiring diagrams online are wrong" or "addissimo's chart doesn't work," why don't you help your fellow e30ers and update my information, or tell me to fuck off, and I'll save money.

I used your site to look how to decapitate an M50. :)

There is a thread on r3vlimited with correct M/S50 wiring diagrams for a few different types of cars, pre-88, airbag cars, and late M3s.

Addis,

• Don't let anyone discount what you've brought to the community. Many people have used your wiring diagram to get their swaps running.
• If you don't want to host your info anymore, feel free to put it up on the wiki (www.e30dohc.com/wiki) so everyone can still see it and so they can "fix" it if they want.

Wiring that e30

I totally agree with stu about Just how helpful your wiring infomation was .It worked for me. But I do wish more people would have read and STUDYED it so they too could have said , It started first time!! Outright thanks! joe

[Lobstrosity]

I used your wiring diagram and the engine fired up on the first try.

For every one person complaining, there's probably 2 or 3 that got the proper information they needed to complete their projects.

[Low Level E30]

Absolutely - very useful. Don't take it down!

addis -

all wiring diagrams on the net are wrong.

not trying to pick a fight, but lets be honest.....there are too many variables. i too have wired a "few" cars. ive noticed alot of differences. i personally have a spread sheet including 5 different types of e30's and 3 different e36's. yes, there are that many differences between years, and i am sure there are more pre 86.

yes, i am one of those guys who preaches to grab a bentley and etm wiring diagrams and figure it out. ITS NOT THAT HARD. and besides, the person who is wiring there car might actually learn something about HOW the car operates. maybe then, we wouldnt get so many hack conversions floating around.

most charts only say wiring color vs. where it goes. they typically dont say where its from, where its going and what does it do. so the person copying the pin chart has no idea what there doing. maybe you could add to your chart what it does. instead of saying "starter".....maybe something like "12v START REQUEST signal from ig switch to starter terminal xxx." or instead of "tach" maybe "engine speed signal from dme to TACH in cluster."

i think its a novel idea to post the wiring pin charts for the conversion. for the record, i have never bashed any specific wiring diagram. i guess i live in a dream world where people who work on cars actually know and care how things work and are not just parts replacers. you can train any chimpanzee to replace parts or follow a pin diagram.

with respect
cheers, jason
