Coolant Temp Sensors:
On your E36, one sensor is for DME and the other is for gauge cluster. You have to replace the sensor which feeds signal to the E30 gauge cluster so it will read correctly. The E36 one reads a vastly different resistance for a given temp.
1. E36 DME, E36 coolant temp sensor.
2. E30 gauge cluster, E30 coolant temp sensor. Just thread it into the spot where the old E36 coolant temp sensor for gauge cluster was. See your wiring documentation to make sense of which wires do what, but it should be in the harness already and you don't have to do anything.

Leave the one for the DME alone and re use your old m20 one for the cluster.For all things 24v, check out Markert Motorworks!Originally posted by mbonanniI hate modded emtree, I hate modded cawrz, I hate jdm, I hate swag, I hate stanceyolokids, I hate bags (on cars), I hate stuff that is slowz, I hate tires.

IIRC you can do it with as few as 7 pins but all my customers/friends end up closer to 22 male and 3 female. I add an x20 to the e30 so I could have up to 25 male pins. If you reuse the c101 you should need no more than 20 male pins. Though you need to figure out how many of them need to be large vs small. Post below is from my build thread showing how I generally rewire them including PNs for the factory pins and the pin removal tool. ;)
