Wiring

Hi all,

Can anyone help with a wiring diagram E30 325i 1990 convertible shell and S50B32 E36 M3 1996 engine?
Has anyone done this swap?
I can't find any diagrams to match my X20 and C101 connectors.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

S50 oil sump conversion

Hi all, I'm currently working on a swap project S50 3.2, replacing my old 325i. I was wondering if anyone ever tried to fit the entire front sub frame from the donor vehicle into E30 instead of going through the oil sump conversion. I have all the parts from the donor vehicle. I would much appreciat...

Re: Locked up differential on E30 325

The 320ZF gear box is not fitted yet I bought it and I plan to install it next year. Diff and gear box is from Z3 2.8l and the engine is from an E46 which I plan to turbo.

Re: Locked up differential on E30 325

Hi guys. Sorry for the late reply. I took the diff off the car. The input shaft doesn't spin at all, it seems to be stuck to the crown. The 2 output shafts seem to spin ok, so hopefully there isn't much damage. I found a few small bits of metal when I removed the back case. My rear wheels size is 23...

Re: Locked up differential on E30 325

Thanks for this. Both wheels are not spinning at all, either when the car is in gear or not. At first, I thought that the hand break pads got stuck, but no, I put it in gear, plenty of revs and the car didn't move at all and I just burned clutch. This happened when I was driving at 35 miles speed. A...

Locked up differential on E30 325

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I've just finished a project on a E30 convertible 325. I went to MOT and it passed, but after 2 miles my differential got locked. I can't spin the wheels at all. I fitted a complete Z3 (2.8l) subframe, arms and suspension and LSD differential (3.38 ratio). I still have the...
