    M20 swap

    I have been swapping an m20b25 engine from an '87 325is rusted out body to an '86 325e decent body and ran into some issues...

    When I took the engine out of the is body, I did not pay attention to what all these wires were connected to. Now that I am installing it into the e body, I realize there are not the same wires available in the car to hook up the "extra"
    wires on the is wiring harness. What are these wires for? Will the car run without them connected?

    The plug with 2 wire propably doesn't go anywhere.

    For that 3 wire plug there should be matching connector beneath dashboard.
