I took the engine loom out of a 325i the other day but couldnt figure out how to get the fuse box off the wires or seperate it from the car loom. I'll be puttin it in another car soon so how can I join the existing car loom with the loom from the 325i? Does it just unplug in the fusebox?
Cheers Rich

Its called a C101 connector and it joins the engine loom to the car loom, the fusebox is not involved.
Its the big round black plug on the bulkhead

It is indeed, the ECU branch passes through the drivers side of the bulkhead. Piece of p1ss once you get stuck into it 8)
