Hi, blown head on my 728I (Nov 98) m52tu so ive bought a new engine with 30k less miles on it, its an m52tu from a 99 z3 same as what ive got, its manual so that will need to be converted.
Question I have is, the coils on the new engine are different as is the connection.
My E38 m52tu has square coils Vs rounded ones in new m52tu, also the connection from the engine to loom is different. My old one with the sqaure coils connects with a circular twist connection (a smaller version of the obd2 socket under the bonnet)
The new one is 2 clips, so am I right in thinking its just the desigm of the z3 to have the obd2 connection in the cabin, like e46?
Can it be removed? As far as ican see the coil connections are identical its just the loom from coils to main loom thats different. Cheers
