    What would be nicer

    What would be nicer for an engine management setup.....

    Using the factory wiring harness

    Or

    Making a new one using new Bosch connectors, and Raychem heatshrink and wire?

    I'd say a trimmed down/modified stock harness would work just fine [and be cheaper].

      Using the whole factory harness and making the EMS plug into the motronic plug. (make adapter harness more or less)

        what EMS are you using? I'm going to use the entire stock harness for mine. no reason to mess with it unless you have damage to the eletrical system.

            I would have figured on a genius such as yourself being able to find the pinouts...

                I would, but i dont want to pay another 25 bucks for the online bmw dealer info..........but it would take a multimeter and some time to get it without any extra info.

                  You find pinouts for free, dingle berry

                  I've had to find 4 different sets of them and it takes all of 90 seconds, even for something that's a lot rarer than a 325i.

                              Werd, I had an Italian car that I drove daily for a little over 3 years, and the only electrical component to ever leave me stranded was a Bosch voltage amplifier for the ignition!
