Whats up man, I remember cruising with you to/from bimmerstock I was in the silver 328is with CSLs i parked next to you.... You can't just reuse your original harness? It should plug right in from a 94 to 95

Yes. U can use either harness. U can keep ur 5speed harness and not have any extra wires hanging around your engine bay..

Or keep the harness on from the donor engine actually attached during the swap... but then u'll have 3 plugs not connected.

One going to the TCM, one to the transmission itself.. and one to the main body harness connector by the fuse box.

I'm actually in the middle of the same swap. The motor was originally mated to an automagic slushbox, but the PO did a manual trans swap.
I'm still using the auto harness, just zip tying all the old auto and ASC wires out of the way.
I've yet to start it up though. I got everything in, deleted the EWS, then my starter gave out. I'm actually replacing my starter right now, but I'm taking a quick break.
