Hey guy's
I've just got finished fitting a m50 to my e30 cab all running fine :driving .

Now I have a spare m50 with 46,000 genuine miles on the clock sat on the floor of my unit and a e21 316 stripped for rebuilding sat in the corner,
After a quick search i have an idea what is needed (ie a complete 323i :stupidme )
My question is i know from fitting this to my e30 it needs a feed from the speed sensor in the diff to alow it to run.
How have you guys got round this ???
also any wiring diagrams which may be usefull would be appreciated

Cheers malc

On my non vanos m50 I didn't need the speed sensor it doesnt cut revs
On the 2.8s though I have to get that taken off.

Drop me a pm if you need a sump making cos if you mount it how you did in the e30 the brake stuff does get in the way. Unless you have a pre 1980?
