regular old m60 swap

I gotta say, it's just plain weird that it would be so off.

New replacement boot on the way! Hopefully the first one was just some freak accident.

[dothadance]

hahahaha I can't stop laughing at that boot!

Is it MTC brand? That's what I got and it fit fine. There's a very slight upward angle but nothing even close to that, lol.

Yeah it's mtc. Who knew bmws came stock with a snorkel?

I think the time is right to clock the engine mounts about 20 degrees. Hahaha!

Yeah. Look through my thread and see what stock looks like. The elbow just can't be right.

Yeah idk wtf happened. UGGGHHH I don't want to spend 100 ducking dollars on an intake boot.

Right, the traction control motors had a metal elbow. But both the ASC-T and non throttle bodies look identical (part #'s 13541747763 13541741671)

sans metal elbow. It has to be the boot... Right?

Well the act engines had a second piece that bolted to the throttle body so I would imagine it would be a much different looking boot.

Is that an OEM piece?

Bought the boot new. For a 95 540 part # 13711747995. Would it matter if my throttle body came with traction control and the boot is for non asct engines? Not sure if my engine originally came with it but I cant think of any other reason...?

That just looks like the wrong part. What car was the boot from ?

Fucked intake part 2. Wtf is my problem? Lmao.

[dothadance]

Wtf is my problem here? Shitty intake boot or wrong throttle body? For some reason my tb doesn't have a part number on it

The angle of the boot when fully installed seems a little ridiculous. Or maybe it's just me... Idk.

[dothadance]

Looks like it's out of an automatic as well? Spend some time with the ETM and you will figure it out. Take your time!

yeah it's an auto harness. still kicking myself for missing out on the manual harness from the junkyard from when i pulled my transmission. would've saved me a lot of money/time/effort. who the fuck rips into a harness like that? the thing was destroyed.

Let me know how your other wiring goes, I just got mine in and trying to troube shoot with little help :-\. Although I have a the hard route which is figuring out whats what on a 840i which as 2 inputs for the x20 style connector. Making me pull my hair out!

damn that's rough. the plugs are pretty self explanatory once you slap it on the motor, save for a few that are no longer in use (or have never been used)
