My euro 320i/B6 3.5 Alpina Tribute the never ending saga

The idle doesn't move at all. Stays right at 1000 runs perfectly aside from the alt going out. I've gone over every square inch of the engine numerous times. There is nothing else wrong with it. Icv, afm they are all in perfect working order and test. ALL vac lines have been replaced and then smoke tested to be sure there was no vac leaks. Timing has be checked and rechecked and valves have been set and reset.

it sounds like you're missing a cylinder.
They are all firing. Ive made sure of it. Compression is good in all of them.
Buddy snapped this pic while I was hooking truck up to get car back to shop.

Replaced the alternator and what I thought was a bad alt is bad wiring. Somewhere... My alt isn't sending sending power to charge the battery. I turned headlights on to get some sort of draw from it and.... My headlights no longer work... They worked flawlessly when I wired them up now only the lights in the dash come on and my brights are on according to dash no matter what setting yet I get nothing out the front of the car. Maybe my switch went out? Still doesn't begin to explain the alternator issues. Maybe the wires going from starter to alt are shorted or not hooked up correctly although iirc they only fit one way?

Went and fiddled with it some before I headed out of town for weekend. Here is what I know. The starter is getting power and the sub harness for the alternator has the correct wire on the power wire and the car starts so we know its getting power to that point. I will hit it MM at the end where it connects to alt but I'm almost positive I will have power at the alternator end. The other big terminal on the starter has the wire going from the starter to starter motor and then I have the 2 small terminals. 1 has the small wire from alt on it and other has small wire from engine harness on it. Are both the small wires supposed to be on the starter? I will post pic of my starter setup later today.

Fixed my charging issue. The 3 pin plug for the exciter wire was not connected all the way. Once I'm less broke the car will get licensed and be ready for driving. To bad its October and gonna be put up for winter at the end of the month. Believe I have finally fixed everything that could need fixed and this long drawn out project is finally nearing an end

Thank you.
I finally picked up my AEM Wideband just need to get it installed. Im going to out that and a regular o2 sensor in the car to get it run correctly. I have heard i can make my AEM gauge read narrowband by switching it to P4 but then i would still be running open loop on my engine harness unless i found a way to splice in the signal wire for the dme to the signal wire for the wideband?

Shweet now to pull up my diagrams. Im assuming it would just splice it into the signal wire at the engine harness plug or can i do it up by the dme to make it cleaner?
