    looks like i got tail lights for the M3 that had the wrong tail light connector on them but i found the right tail light connector that would work off of a E90 325i. the problem here is that the E46 connector has 7 wires while the E90 connector has only 5 with a open 6th wire insert, i assumed...

    Since I purchased my 325, neither front seats have had fully working power adjustments. The lower cushion on both does not tilt in the front or rear, but they do slide forward and back, and the backrests tilt fine as well. Over the weekend I picked up some junkyard seat switches to see if they...

    I can't figure out how to unplug the connector from the clutch position lockout switch on my 330Ci. The sensor is normally attached to the clutch master cylinder, but currently disconnected. Any hints on how to unlock the wires to unplug it?

And that is where my clumsiness struck, I damaged the most rightern connector to a point of no repair. In the picture you will see the most rightern connector how it is supposed to...

    Bottom Line Up Front - Does anyone have any tips before I swap out my F/R door wiring harness? I don't want to buy another one. So, I put in a new window regulator into my '03 325i and broke the airbag connector tabs. That caused the SRS light to come on, it won't reset, and the code shows the...

    Purchased an m3 replica bumper for my e46 with ecode fogs, but the fog light does not match the oem connector for it. It should be easy enough to splice a new connector in, but I'm just curious to which one it would be/whether or not anyone has had something similar. Would it be a 9006 connector...

    Hi, I've recently bought myself an '03 BMW E46 330ci, and now I'm encountering a few technical difficulties with it. I'm new to BMWs so bare with me. While I was driving it home, a power steering hose cracked and spilled oil all over the engine compartment. Soon after, the DSC, EML and Brake...

    Did the CCV system / oil separator and in putting everything back together, I seem to have lost my way with one of the harness connectors. See the pic - it's the bottom wire of the three lower ones coming out of the harness. I can't figure out where it plugs into. :facepalm: Anyone know? It's a...

    At least half the time, when I want to disconnect an automotive connector, I end up breaking the connector shell if I don't know how it works. Can someone tell me what I need to do with this one to disconnect it? All the write ups on this switch seem to omit the details. To make matters...

    Just wondered how you actually connect aftermarket speakers with the normal +/- tabs to the non-standard BMW connector? Do you cut the wires then terminate with standard spade terminals etc...? I'm specifically talking about door components for a 03 Sedan/Touring.
