One more question. When using the 260, how do you bend the selector rod? It's alloy and seems awful brittle!
Thanks,

WIring the vehicle speed sensor. Has anyone done it without that green plug? I dont have that on my cluster and I have tried connecting the grey wire to either output pin on the speedo with no luck. I have also tried connecting it to the brown/red which should be the input.
Im a bit lost because it always throws the code. Is there a common ground on the cluster, does it use a body ground, or do I need to then ground that other half of the circuit back to the ECU? I cant get a check engine light to work either.
I guess the other alternative would be to find what wire goes from the ECU to the OBC.Im now E30less.

I've acces to an wrecked 1993 E36 2.5 really cheap and a couple months ago bites the M50 bug me
so here are my Q's :
I don't now much about M50 swaps so don't flame me
A 1993 car, has it the famous anti theft system (DWS or EWS )
Is it an M50 or M52???
and is the E36 wiring harness something worth in an E30???
TIA A.C.

if i'm not mistaken, EWS became an issue with '96+ engines, which had that and OBDII... 318ti guys dumping sixes in their cars usually had this issue with later engines. Basically you'd have to take your car to a stealer to get something with the computer reset.
a '93 325i is going to have an M50..
dunno about the harness though.1988 325iC - "Betty" - Daily Driver/Project Car.

1995 318ti - "Hellrot" - R.I.P.
