I have got a D Reg 316 fitted with a m50, just had a look at the c101 plug on the car side it only has 8 wires.

1/ blue
4/ brown/purple
5/ black/brown
6/green/yellow
7/green
9/ black/yellow
11/ white/blue
13/ purple/red.

Can anyone tell me how to wire this to the e34 m50 loom please.

Fuel pump wire on the M50 engine loom is Green/Purple, should be connected to Pin 13

Dont forget to fit a 7.5 amp fuse to No 11 winkeye

Thanks Dan will have alook to see if there is a fuse because it wouldnt have been needed with the carb, what about the relay ?

So what about 6/ green/yellow ?

Made the same mistake myself, I thought "f*ck me that fuel pump is quiet" :)

Relay is on the engine loom, Pin 6 is the diagnostic wire which is Green/White

What have you done for fuel pump?

I have used the external fuel pump from a 323 along with tank.
The pump wires where all there on the 316 loom which was good.
