    M54 with MS45.1 E30 Swap

    Just bought a M54B30 with 6 speed ZF trans. Didn't realize until I got home that is MS45.1 DME and harness. I'm not finding much information regarding this DME, looks like everyone is using the MS43 version. Anyone have a recommendation on this. Not sure if I need to convert to MS43 and if so, what's necessary? I'm reading that MAF is different and ignition coils connector are different. Can they work or am I going to have to swap coils too?

    The MS43 is better known for tuning, EWS delete, etc.
    If you can find someone to tune MS45, then it's not a problem.
    It IS a more advanced system, with wideband oxygen sensors...

    If you want to use MS45 coils with an MS43 ecu, you'll want the spark
    wiring harness out of a 325xi- they stayed MS43, but went to the later
    coils after 2002. It works pretty well.

    You'll get more responses in the M54 subforum.

      Thanks for the response. Can you be more specific with the ignition coil harness? I just bought a MS43 harness today so I now have a MS45 and 43 harness. Is there going to be a problem with the ignition coil connector?
