    The 24v dme plug is the same dimensions as the 318is, and similar width to the early model. The late model m20 connector is larger.

        I used a cut M20 grommet but still had problems with water coming in the glovebox. I used some silicone and problem was solved. Probably not the best solution, especially with no grommet at all but it's has been fine for 3 years.

        Bonus: In theory it should clean up with no damage to the paint to should I ever pull it out.

          Can't cut them. Gotta pull the pins out of the ECU connector and feed the bare wires through.

            Ive got same issue. Toying with the idea of getting that expanding foam and just filling the hole with that but find a way to keep it nice and tidy. I mean really if you have completely rebuilt shit there shouldn't be a reason to ever remove it and it can easily be removed.

              Mine was slit in half to get on the 24v harness, but now I also ripped a big piece off.

              I think some sort of generic grommet is the way to go.

              Thinking about something like this:

              I would anticipate modification, which seems like a lot for ~$20.

              Otherwise maybe stacking two sizes of these:

                I'm looking at expanding foam too as i currently dont have anything and dont fancy water running down the wires into the dme...

                  I'd really be interested in seeing that e34 m50 DME box setup in the front.

                  I ended up cutting a m20 grommet, slid it over the harness then silicone'd it in with no issues. Granted I used that e36 or whatever firewall cover to cover it all up.

                      Is this what you guys are looking for? 51711972464 is the 52 mm grommet. Double check this diagram:



                      I had considered buying a new one. But, at $24, I just cut a slit that came from the one in my m42 powered car. I also have an m3 firewall cover to go on. Hopefully water and wind noise doesn't come in.
