Awesome! That's good to know! As far as clutch is concerned. Do you guys have any opinions on a decent cheap option? Is the valeo kit a decent kit? |
So would you guys know where I could get some info about swapping a 97m52b28 into a 95 318ti I have the whole doner car still and will keep it till everything is good with the ti but I'm concerned about obd1 car with obd2 motor and the ews as well it's my first swap in a bmw but I can tell getting the motor in is the easy part |
I should be commencing my swap next week. I got all the parts I needed ordered. I have my swap car lined up and the 318ti waiting a new transplant. I’m getting pretty excited about it all. I’m goint to do a lot of stuff to the motor while it’s out like Sap delete M50 manifold with the bimmerworld swap kit New silicone elbow Aluminum radiator Silicone coolant lines New water pump Vanos rebuild with tools Asc delete plug I’m trading some Audi wheels for a stage 4 clutch kit (kinda way to aggressive) Fan delete kit New coolant tank Bought a dme with sap delete, rear o2 delete, ews delete, etc Is there anything I’m forgetting that you guys can think of? Thanks again for all the help and support! |

Cut the 2 plug connector off either the Auto harness or the old M44 manual harness. Run one wire from pin 10 on the x20 and run the other wire from the box above the engine and connect it to the wire that comes off of pin 22 of the x20 Please let me know if I am wrong. Also I ran into another problem. What do I do with the x69 Connector off the auto harness. My 318ti Doesn't have a X69 connector. It only has the x20 and the x6031 connector. If someone could help me out with that I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you |
Sounds like what I did, it was a while ago but yeah. Did you get it to work? EDIT - My car does not have the x69. My car had the x69 so I can't help there, did you find any threads talking about it here or on bf.c? |

I’m also waiting on a clutch to come in. Was your ti originally a auto or manual? |
Mine is a '98 manual ti with engine from a '97 auto 328i. |

backup light I am figuring out how to wire my light up too. S52 from 97 auto, into 99Ti manual. I just solved the low speed fan riddle. Did anyone else notice terminal 86 in low speed relay is missing in bottom of socket? Same for AC relay next door. The diagrams do not address this, but do not tear into the fuse box. These signals don't use 86 even though the ETM displays that it does. |
X69 Quote:
Mine was/is also a manual car. |
My bad, I just looked back at the pictures in my build thread and saw that my '98 manual ti does not have the x69 connector. I forgot that I just set the auto harness connector where the x69 would be. It's been a couple years, lol. |
I found that out after a while of being worried. That being said my swap started right up and runs like a champ. I have one check engine light for an 02 sensor that isn’t even attached to the car. I am using a dme from a 328 that has the ews system deleted. The motor is out of a 98 323 which only had one pre cat and one post cat o2 sensor. I have the original dme but I didn’t want to have to deal with the ews system. |
Congrats Just saw that your swap is running, congratulations. I picked up an aluminum block M52 and have been going through it. What clutch did you end up using? I've got to get a flywheel + clutch, planning to use the manual that came with my ti. Any suggestions now that you've been through the process? |
I ended up going with this clutch. It worked pretty good I ended up getting rid of the car for a 2007 Audi A4 avant. But the clutch held good and the car was a blast https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...2F132617773337 |
Good to know. My last car was an 2007 A4 avant. I miss it, great car, fun to drive and amazing in the snow. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
