Metric Plug and Play S54 and S62 Wiring Adapter Harnesses from Harvey Racing

[Andrew325is]

When shopping for an adapter harness for your swap you may be tempted to shop based on price, but there are other things to consider.

Here’s a breakdown of the differences between Andrew’s harnesses from Harvey Racing and the competition.

-Higher quality construction

-Genuine BMW connectors (others often use 3rd party or homemade 3D printed connectors)

-Metric high temperature wire imported from Europe that matches BMW OEM wire (others use cheaper AWG wire which does not properly match the connectors, the wrong sizes may not adequately handle circuits, and may not be high temperature which would be unsuitable for the engine bay.)

-Better wire lengths (matched to original harnesses)

-Premium Kester brand lead-free solder (3% silver) added to ring terminals and large connector pins to improve connections and seal out moisture.

-Premium 3M brand heat-shrink and high quality braided sleeving to protect wires

-Splashproof fuse holders protect important circuits (others may not include any fuses to protect circuits)

-Labeled connectors and detailed instructions for easy installation

I too would like to add myself to the list for one of these S54 canbus harness adapters, I've got a E36 M3 that could really use it since right now the car just dies at idle when I switch the A/C on. Looking forward to that new website and finally getting my converted Cluster added in and finishing my car off

I’m really looking forward to this highly anticipated item—I need the S54 to E30 harness. Please let me know the moment it’s available so I can make my purchase right away!

Is it possible to make a harness adapter to drop an m54b30 into an e90?

An early e60 with the m54 should get you everything you need. May I ask why you are looking to go with the m54, n52's are cheaper & make more power.

I just saw your message. I sent you a PM. Just in case anyone else is wondering that is something I could do for a race car or for export, but I haven't made any harnesses for an E90 or newer BMW. I would need to R&D it; so you'd need to send me the chassis connectors or photos of them with the part numbers listed on them.

Is it possible to make an engine harness adapter to run an m54 in an e90 or e82 chassis?

[Andrew325is]

Are people still doing engine swaps? I'm having a Halloween sale on adapter harnesses.

-$76 off dual vanos M5x, S54, M62 M5.2.1, M62TU, & S62 (e.g. that makes the S54 E30 harness $499)
-$31 off single vanos M5x, M60, M62 M5.2 which makes them $199.

I've been making these for a decade and I'm the only one who uses the correct metric wire.
I'm caught up on orders so lead time is short (1-2 weeks).

Send me an email at harveyracingsales@gmail.com. (If I don't respond right away it's because I'll be in and out of the house working today.)

[Andrew325is]

I fulfilled my huge backlog of orders from the summer. Lead time is only 1 to 2 weeks now, depending on availability of connector parts from BMW. I updated the website with some new products.

[Andrew325is]

I can accommodate a few orders. I had a huge backlog from fall and winter because I'm in school again so I have very limited time for these and BMW has been having supply chain problems. I'm all caught up now, so I can get a few done within a reasonable amount of time (depending how quickly parts arrive from BMW; usually a week or two).

Here are some ECU flashing resources if you want to flash your own ECU.

For MS41: https://sites.google.com/site/openms41/

For MS42 & MS43 (also includes a flasher for MSS54, MSS54HP, MSS52 that works better than BMWFlash and MSSFlasher): https://www.ms4x.net/index.php?title=Main_Page

MSS54, MSS54HP, MSS52: https://www.ecuworx.co.uk/downloads/. FAQ: https://www.ecuworx.co.uk/2015/05/19...ion-tool-faqs/ Don’t use BMWFlash or MSSFlasher like it says. Those can corrupt the file. Use MSS5x flasher or quickflash.

BMW factory/dealer software: BMW Tools, ISTA, SP Datens, etc: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1681573 Use these to update or change factory software on ECU.


Part numbers for ICOM Next. Use this with BMW software. Buy them from your BMW dealer’s parts counter.

ICOM A (main unit): 81312360883

ICOM C (20-pin adapter): 81312360885 (this is required for MS41 since it provides programming voltage)

You can still email me at the old email address, but I made a new dedicated one for harness orders. It is harveyracingsales@gmail.com.

I'm still making harnesses, but I've decided to not do ECU flashes. I can direct you to resources to do that yourself if you need to.

[Andrew325is]

I changed the location of the fuel pump relay on the E36 harness for S54, M54, M52TU, S62 so that it will mount in the OEM location clipped to the side of the fuse box.

Here's an S54 adapter harness for an OBD2 E36 wired for the Z3M instrument cluster and some other options such as a connector for the electric fan coolant sensor.
