I'm currently converting my 1999 316i compact with a 2.8 from a 1996 328i saloon. But there are some differences in the x20 connectors....
I have marked those that appear to be a match with a *.
316i compact x20 (car side)-----------------------------328i x20 (engine side)
Pin no. Colour Function -------------------------------- Colour Function

24 GRN/YEL - OBC --------------------------------------- WHT/BLK Fuel rate/MPG (a match?)
*25 BLU Instrument cluster ---------------------------- BLU ignition warning
The colours were read from the connectors themselves, it's just some of the functions I'm not sure of.
Could people PLEASE fill in the blanks or correct any mistakes.
Also are they all necessary - sounds daft, but for example would the '96 328i saloon of had ASC like my current car...?
Many thanks
