on the e36 starter motor there are three connection son the solenoid.
main power [battery]
solenoid power [ing switch]
and the third wire [black and green] which according to the e36 Bentley manual goes to the OBC, BCM, climate control module and the wiper washer module.

my question is for any one who has done a m5x conversion with a m20 starter.
dos the m20 stater hav the third connection for the additional green and black wire?

thanks...

From memory there is a 3rd connection. So should go on just fine.
