Visit Preferences to set your user name Summary of change: '''BMW Motronic 88 pin connectors have slight mechanical variations''' Got an M52 harness (only 40EUR + 13km away), so we can now check mechanically (earlier all testing was done against M50 female connectors). '''Summary''' * the '''black mot88 connector''' is perfect fit for the '''M52''' ** needs different frontplate though * the '''natural color mot88''' is perfect fit for '''M50''' (Vanos, NON-Vanos) ** S50 is same as M50, right ? (pinout is almost same, so it would make most sense, some confirmation here would be nice) If the other conn is used: some chipping from the connector (filing/grinding/milling) is needed. (luckily this is easy) ---- '''Purchased M52 mot88 female loom - SOLVED''' * especially '''female for the M52 version would be nice''' ** '''M52 has some minor (but annoying) changes Siemens probably made''' (requested from the connector manufacturer) '''to prevent accidental plug-in of incompatible pinout ECU''' ** see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M52 car/engine M52] (car eg. from a European junkyard) could be candidates to find M52 female... ---- Mot88 male (PCB) connector '''available in Black and natural (~bone) color'''. * Different frontplate needed, but theoretically they match same female ** prefer Black for M52 BMW ! ** Natural color for M50 Optional: Add document to category: Wiki formatting: * is Bullet list ** Bullet list subentry ...
