Hello,

I'm almost done with my M50 swap in my E30.

Just some questions remain..

- As you see on the pictures, what's up with the red number 1, where does this one needs to go too? or can it be removed? is it fitted correctly to the throttle body?

- the red number 2 where does that one go? (it's also the yellow one in the other picture)

- the green number 2 what's up with this one?

- finally, the blue one is good like it is, this can be ignored??

or am I missing something out ?

The two smaller hoses are for the throttle heater, its best to remove this altogether

The other two larger hoses look like the ICV/breather (probably the lower one) which is connected to the throttle intake boot
The upper shorter one could possibly be the coolant return to expansion tank, difficult to tell from the picture

Green number 2 would have been to the charcoal canister on the e36, blanked this on mine and it's fine.
