MMP M62B44 Build Project "Jack-N-Coke"

[MonkeyMadness]

OK so I should have my harness here by the end of next week... So i sent an email to Andrew325is about modding my harness to do what I need...
hopefully I'll get this ball rolling soon..

On another note I finished my carpet dye job and I have to say I'm quite happy with the out come...
I decided to recondition the leather seat while I had them out. With exception of the fucked up drives seat it looks pretty minty. ;D

I'm in for something here too, have a M62B44 non-vanos. I did reach out to whodwho for some tuning help, I'll help subsidize the deal if I get a good tune out of it. I've already wired mine in with a new harness direct to the MS3, so not interested in the PNP part. I'll likely be starting mine within a week or two, will share how it goes.

Awesome man ..share :) the more the better... I will do the same I should start my thread soon.

oh and my DME is this one:

540i
E39
M62/B44
96-->
0 261 203 474
Bosch Motronic M5.2 (OBD-II)

Would be priceless to get rid of that damn EWS and also the damn limp mode traps BMW put together with O2 sensors everywhere and other things..

Convert to obd1 and get rid of that ews crap get your self a 93/94/ early 95 harness with the x20 plug. the Convertion to obd1 isn't hard at all... ;)

Alright kids New Harness purchased.....! booya!

Well I plan on doing the first start up's and preprep stuff with a 404 just to make sure everything is working and what not, But i have had quite a few talks with WhodWho about a MS3 and he has a donor 404 I gave him to build it as a pnp setup. But sadly I haven't bent his ear in a while. He's a busy dude with all the MS units he builds, plus I'm like small fry compared to the other people throwing money at him... lol
But he has assured me he's on board with this, and wants to see this damn thing running under the power of one of his units as much as you or I would like to see it... The key to it all would be a the amount of interest we can show him..
If we have a ton of M6x swap guys knocking on his door for a MS3 pnp setups we might be able to move up on his list of "things to do" ;)

Funny I have just been talking to Keith yesterday and looks like he is up for the challenge...and I got to say IF one person can make this happen it is him your in good hands man. I'm getting inline for a MS3 for my 97 (no-vanos) M62B44 swap from him too. I havent done a thread on my build yet but getting everything in line...just got the motor and tranny from a local guy couldnt pass up the deal. keep leading the way with Frank and Jgood :) its going to open up the beautiful world of bmw V8 power... awesome work you did.

NO sadly I'm Elc. stupid... and my attempt to build my own failed horribly..ugh
But i found one and its on hold for me in San Diego I just have to get my happy ass down there to pick it up...

then my plan next will be to get it running FIRST, with the stock harness!
Then... I'll tuck that harness...

That's a good plan.
Function before aesthetics.
Then skids :p

There you go, can't wait to see this beast running
