That’s a nice tune I have it in my e36. Also seen that you plugged the vanos solenoid to the fuel rail. It should plug into a small harness with a “Y” split, One for the solenoid and one for the fuel rail.

So turns out that harness with the "Y" split you're talking about was not originally part of the engine harness at all. Those connectors were added later when a recall was put out for faulty crankshaft position sensors. My guess is that the car that my engine came out of wasn't affected by the recall and therefore did not need the subharness. Thanks for pointing that out though because I imagine that will be a point of confusion for some people using my videos as a "how to".

seeing this 2 years later but this is the first video that shows everything. i started a swap and am starting to piece together the harness and this clarified everything for me!!! Thanks

the relay from 2:05 is the main dme relay btw. this video was super helpful with witing my m52b28 into my e36,, thank you Jam

Hell yeah dude. I understand the feeling all too well. Did all that work and couldn't believe it ACTUALLY worked 😂

Love the reaction of the first start and really helpful information my man. Haha nice!

Thank you soooo much, had bought a 328i manual, the previous owner cut all of the wires for some unknown reason, this helped me so much because I was lost

Hell ya!! I am just about to get a first start on my 318 m52 swap this week and im alot more motivated after seeing this!!!

Good work!

Congrats! I'm at the same stage with the same swap in a Z3. I didn't do an ews delete so naturally that gave me a bit of trouble but she runs great. Now to tackle the cooling system and shifter. Keep going!

Thanks man I appreciate the kind words! If you're looking for a good shifter I would look into the PMC chassis mounted short shifter. I've been running it for a while and it's super nice for the price.

Hey! 🙃 I have a 1995 316i compact and I have a m52b28 to swap but I don't know what wiring harness to buy. The e39 wiring harness fits? Nice videos keep it up!!

Hey man sorry for the late reply! To my understanding a pre 1998 e39 m52 wiring harness will work. In 1998 they moved to the dual vanos m52 which won’t work with the single vanos m52

yo at 13:35 you have 2 of the 3 vacuum holes plugged do you remember what they were for and why you plugged them. Thenks

So it’s pretty much plug an place besides the coding for dme I wonder if it’s the same for z3

@JamDrifts

From my limited research it seems like it should be just as plug and play on the z3. Of course you’ll need to take into account which OBD version you’ll be running based on the year of your z3 but the process should be nearly identical to the swap on the 318ti.

is that the same fuze box from the 4cyl? Currently doing my swap and wanted to know if I needed to get one or not

The fuse box is the same as the 4 cylinder but you’ll need the engine harness for your specific engine.

Hey! I want to do something like you did. I have a M50b25 out of an Automatic car and want to put it in a Manuel 316i. Is there any problem with starting and reverse light?

Wiring harness is out of the automatic 325i and needs to go into the Manuel 316i

@JamDrifts

You’ll need to do some wiring to get the reverse lights working. I don’t know the specifics since I didn’t feel like doing it on my swap but there is plenty of info on the forums about it. If you’re using the ecu that came out of the automatic it’ll search for the transmission control module so you’d need that hooked up too. Since my ecu and harness came out of an automatic too I ended up just getting the ecu tuned as if it came out of a manual so it wouldn’t need the transmission control module. Along with that you’ll need to have the EWS immobilizer system tuned out depending on the year of 325 it came out of.
