So find the twisted ones and cut and splice them together that’s it?

Already have the manual harness in and all mechanical parts, having issues bleeding the clutch. I used the drives side tap front eh brake resivoir and it only pushes air into my clutch system

For those wondering where the clutch hard line runs

no.4 wire goes to no.41 on CAS

there is no connector at no.3 position on CAS but you can pull off one from old harness and plug it in there

i think there is already a wire running to position 41 and here you simply bridge the wire from clutch switch on to the wire already on CAS and cover it up with insulation tape.

once this is done you should be able to start car with both brake and clutch depressed.

A DDE IS what DME or ECU is to bmw diesel cars...

hope that helps and anyone is free to correct where i might be wrong.....
the likes of dave and nick know better....

Which plug #18 for the DME?

[Wrecker 426]

I put it in the grey one, there wasn’t a wire there yet, it’s were the JB4 2step wire goes

Here is how I did the clutch wiring

[Wrecker 426]

So when doing the write is NFRM the same as FRM?

[Wrecker 426]

Well I got it to start once but my windshield wipers are on all the time now! And a fuck ton of lights.

[Wrecker 426]

Got it to start again wipers stopped, however I get a nasty grinding sound from how far I have to push the clutch in to get it to start, also no rpm indication on the instrument cluster

Figure it out?

Glad you got it to start...
However, did you figure out what the grinding sound was?

My battery died during the flashing processes so no idea why the wipers were doing that, I was able to drive it around but no speedo or tach, haven’t had time to look at it, 16 hour days at work, 1/2 hour drive to and from work, I’ll look at it soon again

I believe the grinding is from the bolts I used of the twin disk, the heads are a bit taller then the supplied bolts, I believe the arm that hold the throw out bearing is hitting the tops. I just got a borescope and was going to drill a small hole in the bell housing to get a peak at it

[Wrecker 426]

Does anyone have a list of values that should be in the VO for CAS?

[Wrecker 426]

Got it running, for some reason I can’t post picture from my phone, I will up load my fuck up soon, can’t believe Iv been chasing shit for a couple days on this thing and it was so simple

[Wrecker 426]

so the CAN bus wiring was wrong, its supposed to be blue to blue and red to red.

after that i went and reset adaptations for the EKPM DME and TCASE(cant remember module) and the deleted and cleared codes.

Had to do it multiple times. but all lights except brake light are gone.

not advertising, but used bimmer tools to clear codes and do coding after i got in touch with them and their customer service. they helped me through this last bit. would recommend it to anyone.

Car runs as expected, chatter from the twin disk, slower rev due to extra weight on the flywheel, all expected, and awesome.

am happy for you.
did you get your reverse lights working?

[DenoirN54]

Excellent job man, I'll be finishing my install up later this month.

No looks like I may have to do custom wire for it.

The self adjusting clutch after 300-400 miles made it so the throw out bearing arm wasn’t hitting the clutch bolts anymore, so I don’t have to pull it all back out thankfully.

Take one wire to ground on your reverse light switch, run a wire from the other terminal tp pin 19 on your FRM unit. if the car is coded correctly reverse light and proximity sensors will work.

Hey man I know this is a super old post and you probably don't own the car now, but I was working on an swapping out my n54 motor as I had a spun rod bearing, anyways just wondering how much easier it would be to do an auto to manual conversion because the engine and transmission are already pulled out of the car. I was thinking about purchasing a wrecked 335 with the engine and manual transmission and just swapping everything over.

[solace25]

hey guys i read a lot through this i have a 08 335i just swapped a new engine and new transmission in. Car was automatic, took out the engine and transmission and put in a manual engine and a manual transmission. Wiring help please, coding seems pretty straight forward me and my friend are stuck with what wiring to do now

Are you using an auto or manual trans wiring harness?
