Hello folks,
I had a build thread on M3forum... but it has gone poof.
I recently completed an ls1-t56 swap in my E36 M3 coupe.
Just had my first ax a few weeks ago, and it is a fun project car.
Quick question - My factory bmw cruise control works in 5th gear and 4th gear...... BUT not in 6th gear.
I thought is was a t56 .5 OD to 3.23 m3 rear gear issue messing with the DME..... so just swapped in 3.91 gears.
And still same issue.... CC only works in 4th and 5th, but not 6th gear.
I tried it @ 60mph and 80mph 2000rpm.
I believe I can barely feel it try to kick-in then drop out.
Do I need to trick or attenuate one of the cc ecu inputs to make it work with my .5 OD?
BTW - this car REALLY woke up with the 3.91 gears!
Thanks,
Jeff
That sucks. I'm sorry, I cannot help your problem, but just popping in to say that I used a GM cruise control from a Silverado. If worst comes to worst, you could do that. https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/s...3#post30307183
Diving in at the shallow end!
Nice video and sweet M3 swap!
Thx Tim.
Here’s first ax

Uh I’m not posting the first 3 runs -)
This was w 3.23 gears not optimal running entire course in 1st gear
3.91 really woke this heap up
Hit me up if anyone needs an M3 read diff.
Also have a Rogue Engineering rear diff cover extra cap, and cooling fin unit avail.
Yeah the track was a bit busy... no dnf
