^GM's would have a little lock clippy thingy on the long side on at least one side, and would have some locating bars to prevent backwards plugging I think.

FredK, did you find time in your busy schedule of not getting your S54 running to find that PN? :DComment
-
ROFL.
I told myself I'd take a look at it on Friday, but it slipped my mind by Saturday. Sucks getting old. :(
I made some progress of not getting my S54 running though. Fueling is all set. There's a stupid jumble quick disconnect to metric M12 back to 8mm hose barb which is aggravating to deal with. There's not really a convenient place to put the stock S54 filter, which would have made things quite a bit easier.

you mounting it on the front driver's frame rail? I'd like to get the pump/filter installed this year.
I got ripped off a while back BTW - was supposed to have S54 injectors, but was sold M54 injectors instead. worst part is I spent $85 having them rebuilt, and I still have the wrong injectors. :(Comment

Nah, that would be a decent spot to put it, but I found it easier to just use the stock filter and mount the FPR by itself on the frame rail.

this part is pretty well done... need to calibrate it of course, but using the values straight out of the TI op-amp calculator got me 95% of the way there. :)
when I get my order from blunt I can wire the E46 cluster to the E30 cluster (instead of the random jumpers I've got now). after that it might sit for a while depending on my free time - I taught my first class at the tech school today, and it wasn't bad at all. So hopefully I'll have time to be finished this spring..
even if I finish the cluster though, I have to wire at least some of the car for the MSS54. I may go ahead and install EWS and set it up to control the electric fan through PWM.Comment

How many computer cases did you cut for those connectors? :p

heh, some of those jumpers are leftovers from computers I built 10+ years ago. but actually, I've got a whole bunch of stuff like that from building/testing megasquirts.Comment

No luck with that part # you gave me (sorry for the trouble!).
But, I did find the BMW # (pretty sure)
12521433915 (connector)
12520007170 (pins, pretty sure I already have a bunch)
12521732634 (rubber boot)
cliffs: cross reference oil level sensor PN (12617508003) on real OEM. Click on random models (it's used on almost everything) because sometimes BMW will show you a part # for something electrical, and sometimes they don't. I found it on a diagram for the E53 X5 3.0:
WHY BMW does this I don't know. I've had to do the same thing to find other electrical stuff. Same damn part, but only certain models will give you a #.
now to make another blunt order.. sigh. yeah, just buy a damn harness. :p
edit: yep, pretty sure it's right. here's a pic of #12521433917, which is in the same part family:

Yep, that is the connector.

Nice work! PM me and I'll give you a part number to a much cheaper and smaller 10 turn trim pot that I use. They are really nice, and cheap, and always in stock at mouser/digikey.Originally posted by nando View Post
BTW - good luck finding connectors - BMW usually hires someone like AMP/tyco to make a connector. They'll take an off the self connector, and then modify it so that nothing the "public" can buy will work with it.Last edited by george graves; 04-10-2012, 02:46 AM.Originally posted by Matt-BComment

sure, that'd be nice. I pretty much went with what was in my PCB software. :p
I haven't really found that to be true, at least not all of the time. I get lots of my "BMW" connectors off mouser, digikey, or other sites. It's just finding the part #s that's difficult (especially for tiny little pins that all look the same). I've switched over to getting most of my connectors off generic sites if I can get a PN. $1 or less, and pennies per pin, vs $1 per pin and $5 for a stupid plastic plug.
Sometimes, they won't sell them in quantities less than like 10,000, which sucks, but you *could* get them. :pComment
