With an EWS delete you need to bypass the connector as well for power to go from ignition to the starter. Take the two thick wires for the EWS connector (1 and 2) and splice em together so 12v goes from the ignition switch to the DME to the starter.

Bypass the EWS internal relay will lead to damaged ignition switch contacts soon. The ignition contact should not drive the starter solenoid directly. Should add a relay to the wire.

How does that work? I'm just confused, isn't it the same 12v signal nevertheless? I've got the same setup on my e39 and it's just simple, straight signal to the starter.
