      Does that face mean you've gone insane or that you got the motor to fire up?

          Both. It runs, and it runs really well. Sounds great, idles just fine. There is a first-start video, I'll upload it shortly.

                The ICV plug, and the CPS plug were mixed up. We also discovered that the cam position sensor and the crank position sensor have the same color wires going to them. So you can't tell them apart. I'm wondering if it even matters. Are they somehow wired in parallel to each other?

                Edit: Looking at the ETM, they go to different pins on the DME, so it does matter. Can't imagine why they would make them the same color wires.

                  BMW got scizo for a while. LOL at CPS and ICV being mixed up. They are pretty far apart on the harness. Glad it runs! W00t! in for vids.
