This is for a COP conversion. Looking for the connector that's on the M44 coil pack. It's got to be available from BMW, possibly on another car. There has to be a source, but I doubt the one person that knows will cough up the info. I am not very familiar with other BMW models. But what I've found is a few similar connectors, but I'm not sure of the pins are the same. I found this on inofficialbmw, from what I read, it's 1990 325i  Looks really similar. Does anyone have any idea if it's the same or what other models would use the same connector? Or if someone with a cop kit can see if there is a PN on the connector? __________________  No more ti. |  |  | | 11-13-2011, 03:18 AM | #2 | | Member Join Date: Aug 2011 Location: Long Beach CA Posts: 88 |
I'll have a look at mine tomorrow | | | | | 11-14-2011, 07:39 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: NJ Posts: 106 |
I never could find one. I ended up mocking up the setup by cannibalizing a failed coil pack. The coil pack is potted, so it's a messy time consuming job.
I've asked the source you made reference to and never got a reply. __________________

I might just lose that connection and bring it right into the harness box on the firewall. I've dug around looking at amphenol connectors, but haven't found a match yet. __________________ No more ti. | | | | | 11-14-2011, 09:25 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: NJ Posts: 106 |
I bought some weatherpack connectors as an alternative. They make 6 connector setups (you need 5 including the shield ground) in a round form factor. __________________

Maybe you could buy BMW part no 61138353732 and see what markings are on it.
This is the part number for the other side of that connector (I believe). That part costs less than 3 bucks. | | | | | 11-14-2011, 11:24 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: MD/PA/DC Posts: 1,629 |
Hmm, interesting Dave. That is used on a lot of cars. One of them HAS to have the other sex connector.
Hmm, interesting. It's used on an E38 seat adjustment switch.... I bet that has the opposite sex.... Off to realoem.com! __________________ No more ti. | | | | | 11-14-2011, 11:41 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: NJ Posts: 106 |

That from the factory E36 harness, or the coil pack? __________________ No more ti. | | | | | 11-14-2011, 11:48 PM | #10 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: NJ Posts: 106 |
It's from the coil-on-plug harness.
Connector is a 7 pol if that helps any. __________________

So, it IS the injector rail connector!
