Unidentified wires on m50 engine loom!!

Hey, I have 2 wires that comes from the trunking by the starter. The 1st is a thick wire with about 10 small wires and a wrapped shielded centre with another 3-4 wires. 2nd is a round metal connector with locking ring (simular to an ITT connector) These have been cut when the engine was removed any ideas? or a link to an m50 engine loom diagram. The engine is out of a 525ix not sure wether it was manual or auto.

Cheers, Charlie

It was an auto, and that plug is for the auto box. It can all be cut out of the loom

The other bit, how many wires? If its 4 it will be for the lambda sensor

Just want to confirm that this is an auto gearbox wire before i chop it out the loom. There is also a 4 pin wire which im unsure of, was wondering do i need 2 connect anything to the 2 flywheel sensors on the m20 gearbox im using? and finally im guessing i have 2 run a main starter feed from the main e30 terminal?
