    Whats the diff btwn the 87 325is engine/wiring ecu &

    Is there a difference between the engine/wiring harness/ecu from my 1987 325is and the same assy from the 1989 325i? I want to do a swap but am concerned about the plug and play issues.

    i think they are swappable. I'm pretty sure 87 is the 153 ECU while 89 should be 173 or something

      Yes they are different but completely swappable. the 87 harness has exposed connectors for the injectors while the later harnesses have a bar that ties the injector wires into a harness that terminals at a circular connector under the intake manifold.
