I really don't want to brag, but I think this may be the cleanest motor ever. There isn't the first sign of any deposits anywhere in the head. I'm sure its been gone through fairly recently. The VIN plate on the back of the head is still there so i doubt its been hot tanked.

So, Ive spent damn near all night looking at wire schematics and posts and everything for the adapter for my swap. I have a c101 and x20 connector for making the adapter, a bit of extra wire and my crimpers. Im going to post up my diagram for the adapter, if anyone has any input on it, please let me know. Car is a 89 325i and the harness is a 94/95 e36 harness. Question marks indicate what im fairly unsure about.

Welp, played with the harness stuff a bit more. Wired as stated above. 15-15, 16-x, 6-x. I pulled my c101 adapter off of a e32 735, I pulled the c101 adapter off of the 7 is because it had all the pins, whereas all the e30 connectors didnt have all the pins in them. The x20 off of a 93ish e34.I sitll need to run out and get some loom or something to wrap it in. It will be a while until the motor goes in, so if anyone has any opinions on my adapter, just let me know.

Drove to Birmingham, al today. Met up with a fellow r3v'er with a certain supercharged s52e30. Probally one of he the lowest, cleanest cars I've ever seen. Here is a pic from the journey. I often take road trips. Hope the m50 will treat me as well as the m20.
P.S. I LOVE the bbs's. They are staying in the family.
