Great info!

I have a swap to do (soon) and this thread took care of the wiring question.

[Chriskbmx]

I left mine out as well. my CC works but I rarely use it. I've only forgot not to put in the clutch once. :p

There is no start interlock on manual E30s. You don't have to push in the clutch to start the car. These aren't waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles American cars, you can do whatever the hell you want with them. Drive it across an intersection with the starter after you run out of gas if you like. :D

This made me lol.

I am leaving off the clutch switch because it was hard as hell to get the hinge bolt through the pedal box in the car (airbag car) and to put the clutch switch in I would have to take that out again.

I just told you where to find the connectors. Also a clutch switch will do more than cruise control, like prevent you from starting the car without the clutch engaged.

No, on the E30 the clutch switch only turns off cruise control.

You don't *really* need the switch. Even if you have cruise control, and don't have the switch, it still works - just don't push the clutch in while it's engaged, or your engine will tag the redline in short order. ;)

But, it's not complicated to wire the switch, because you don't have to do any wiring. Unplug the terminator and then plug in your switch. Done.
