That's karma for you :D

Do you have spark and fuel? And what makes the wire a "Bosch" one?

Is this an M40 318i?

Where is this connector located...a picture would help a lot.

Probably the crank sensor which sits below the engine up front.

If you lower a M40 E30 you definitely need a good strong metal sump guard fitted. :wink:
