Shame it's an auto, but looks to be a decent gamble. Car looks clean!

5spd swap and a tune up would do it justice

The owner is actually the son of my neighbor. But if you're really interested I could look at it

My buddies 87 325i just had a small engine fire, so he needs a new engine harness. I know the 87 has the injector harness hardwired in but what else is different?
Can he use an 88+ since they are easier to find?

Either way he needs a new harness if anyone has one.

Perfect time to convert to Motronic 1.3 and a 173 DME. You just need to do the wiring for the tachometer since '87s had the wiring in the glovebox.

Hmmm....
This is Keith's old car. It had a 173 already in it.....but it definitely has an 87 harness.

Damn, It's an I car, I was going to say I got a 87 eta, I can go take a shit ton of pictures.....but......different harness.

I'm in and out of junk yards all the time, I will keep an eye out for a harness.

I thought the poltergeist or whatever haunted that car was released when I sold it.
Anyway, I laid out both an 88 and 87 harness side by side about 10 years ago. From what I recall, the FI rail and oxygen sensor plug were different. I believe there were also a couple additional plugs on the later harness but I'm not 100% sure what they were.

Haha, they're bAAaaaack.
I've never had them out side by side but what you've mentioned sounds right.
