There is also a electric connection on the latch of the body shell if this connection gets bad from rust you will have problems.

Back again i had no luck tracking down the right wiring loom this is the one i need but it costs 400 euro from BMW : Part number 7 so i am going with using a sunroof switch i have & join it into the loom; THERE are 3 yellow wires on it does anyone know the wiring of these pins on the socket so i wont wire it wrong .I also found the kickdown wire it comes into a plug from ecu to steering wheel where it connects to another socket . if i just tap onto this grey wire & run it to the kickdown switch it should solve that problem.

yes i found a wire with no connection on it so i put a fitting on it . It looks to be either red or brown with yellow stripe. I take it to be the kickdown wire as its going to driver speaker footwell.

I thought the mode switch was hard wired from ecu if it only plugs into a socket ( X6003 ) then i only need the plug for switch.

Sorry back to you again I decided to look up the wiring loom than to go cutting into it . Can you tell me which loom the plug is on as they are 2 looms under the dash 1 that crosses over from the passenger footwell in the dash & the other crosses over from P/ footwell loose across the A/C CENTER Box to steering wheel. I hope its this one as it will make it easier for breaker to remove & post on to me. Thanks.

MY Gearbox ECU IS in engine driver side all wires enter the car at passenger side footwell & join up with under rear seat electrics . The dash then plugs in also to take connection over to steering wheel . its this dash is where my problem is i will go out & check for these wires under steering wheel & get back to you thanks.

It seem now what i did wrong is keep the wrong dash i kept the 89 dash which was a manual car & does not have this switch socket in its loom . Does anyone know the wiring of this switch socket does it go back to one of the sockets in passenger footwell i have another spare loom that comes from backseat that has the sunroof switch socket on it i can cut this from this loom to work the sports gearbox switch if i can find out where it goes too thanks.

Hi I am looking for more help finding the socket for this switch . I moved over the whole wiring loom engine & under back seat. 520i 95 auto I have a wire that goes to warning lights button & docket that plugs into gearbox with one free male socket is this what works my switch if so I am missing a lead to plug into it to connect to the switch. Here is socket with part number. Here is the switch.

Hi I was thinking of doing this to my 89 E34 but complete swap of everything .The engine support mount in the E34 is just bolted to frame legs by 6 bolts 3bolts each side is the e39 the same. I am thinking of buying a e39 & swapping everything over the diff on e39 has different mounting points has it. E39 530D is what I want to do as I can buy a doner car for 1k. I found it done on YouTube but it doesn't say how

ok thanks

I am selling parts off my M20 2 Liter that i dont need i have someone looking for the afm for there 2.5 m20 are they different. I am also looking for help finding the kickdown wire connecting back up every thing again i dont see it in drivers footwell does it run from ecu engine or under back seat. 335990_x800.webp

Here is the cooler I am going to use.

Just getting back about this upgrade I haven't fitted it yet as the intercooler needs to be modified to fit right one of the inlets on the cooler is angled wrong. That is not my question though I want to know will I get a drop in pressure from turbo with a larger inter cooler fitted. The mod is worth doing as the standard inter cooler is very small so as well as getting more air into the engine it will get a better chance of cooling the air having it bigger. Thanks

Thanks i was thinking it had something to do with cd changer i removed in boot any way i can forget about it as its nothing to do with the car starting again . It has a thick wires in it that what was putting me off as it maybe carrying power with this wire.

Hi putting my car 95 520i auto back together again & I can't remember what this socket plugs into it's down in passenger footwell Left hand side going into floor speaker hole.
