To those who did the M30 AFM swap

[Erick]

If you get a 027 M30 AFM, it's a direct plug in.

Yes I noticed that, however what if it isnt? Is it useless then? THAT'S my question. :|

The part number on the plastic cover is: 0 280 203 016

I have a friend that has an A/F gauge sitting around that he's willing to give it up to me. I am going to install it and see how the car runs by following the Dave Length tutorial. He had his AFM from an '86 535i e28 and so have I.

His car ran great, I dont see why mine shouldnt.
