Now that I have it running, I'll switch my E90 injector harness for an X3 one. E90 is incredibly short and won't reach the glovebox
X3 could reach the passenger seat. Or the backseat

The Z4 uses K-line bus communications and the E90 that my harness came from doesn't, so I had one missing wire in the...Last edited by hoveringuy; 12-31-2020, 03:39 PM.
