[baggsy]

Long story but ....

i have a 318is someone has really buggered up trying to get a 325 engine running.. so the loom i have had to take it all out to have a look where its bin cut and there's just wire every where with tape over it.....

So can this be done... iv got a e30 325 touring i am breaking http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... c&t=186947

can i put the hole car loom from this in my e30 with the 325 engine ???

May sound like a dum question to some people but new to bmw's thanks alot for any help.

The engine loom should swap easily enough (if I've understood the question) without the whole car loom. It is connected to the ECU under the steering wheel, and a huge circular multiplug type effort near the fusebox. Everything else just unclips off the engine (sensors) or unbolts (starter, alternator, coil). There is a sticky thread to check either this forum or the tech help forum, can't remember which. Some models have earth connections to the big circular socket that are redundant, with some engine looms you are connecting the earth side to direct live and will short out the loom. Other than that possibility, all pretty straightforward.
