    E32 Technology and Diagnostics video (German)

    A YouTube user uploaded a neat video two days ago about the E32. It shows some technical details and design elements, but I can't understand it. Maybe YouTube's auto-translate can help

    Excellent, very nice, German language is no problem for me. Even if you do not understand German, it is worth to watch all 29.21 minutes, explains the complete system, where which control units are etc

    is also good as DIY training video, how to remove bumpers, where all the relays and modules are, for example I will use this youtube now if someone is asking where the transmission control unit is located.
    How to remove the trunk lid they also show, but that I found out from another brochure already more 12 years ago, here the picks how to make out of your E32 a pick up in a few minutes http://www.bimmerboard.com/forums/posts/170639/
    Also nice the demonstration of the fuel injectors in normal operation and emergency. Our engine has what they call semi sequential fuel injection, meaning that the injectors normally open in 2 groups of 3.... 1,3,5 open then 2.4.6 open the next revolution. This is done to control injection a little more precisely for emissions. It uses this induction loop as the sensor to determine where it is in the firing order. When it fails it goes into a mode where all the injectors open simultaneously but they only stay open for half as long since this way they open every revolution. This doesn't measure fuel quite as precisely but most people haven't been able to tell any difference in how it runs.

    If the inductive sensor on the plug wire fails then it goes into gang firing (as I call it), since the m30 is a semi sequential design meaning that it triggers the injectors in 2 banks of 3 every other revolution, when it goes into the gang fire, then it triggers all six at the same time every revolution but decreases the volume of fuel by 50% ..

    Cool stuff. I did watch it all, the visuals are enough often times. It's quite awesome to see such a perfect E32 in video, no rock chips or anything

    I want one of those showroom plates on my 735iL. Finding a part number would be tricky.

    We discussed that since years from 2009 on the German 7-forum, no one has ever seen them, it is even mentioned in some owners manuals and even in a workshop manual and a brochure, but always with the note "under preparation".
    http://www.7-forum.com/forum/showthr...t=119063&page=
    Last year I disassembled a crashed 750iL from 1993-11-12 that even hat in the fuse box the sticker for the fuses : 56,57 Automatic "Soft-close" system !
    But I could not find them, also the door lock system was not different. We came to the conclusion that no E32 has it, was under preparation, but never realized and only came into the E38.

    I’ve never seen them in e38 either, only e66/65. e38 had the soft close trunk standard in USA. In euro there was an option for hydraulic open/close trunk. Perhaps the L7 e38 has this option ?

    shogun what is this compartment showing in the video dirk linked ? Located in the middle of the 3rd row seat between the headrest, I’ve never seen that before.

    Unsure if this is an old video, but it was new to me.
