Quick question: where did you mount the ECU/DME? I ask because the individual BMW harnesses for the injectors, glow plugs, engine electrics aren't terribly long. If mounted in the engine bay, it'd need a housing...
You're right, we had to fabricate a housing for the ECU on the driver side in the engine bay, roght where the battery used to be, and we moved the battery on the other side.
Was this motor out of an E46 or e39? How much do their oilpans differ? Wanna know if one is a better fit clearance-wise when I start looking.... BTW killin it with the tempo of the update videos. Thx & keep it up!
@@miked5789 it was from e39. I really don't know how the oil pans differ. But if you don't plan to keep the AC compressor, you can move your alternator and T/C and you won't need to worry about the pan touching anything

Ahhhh, that's what that box is. Wasn't sure... Thanks.
How much lift are you running? would a bit more have helped with the clearance instead?
3 inch lift. But it's about lateral distance to the driveshaft, not the lift. If I drove over obstacles, it would touch.

@@thegreengoblin76ok, def not keeping AC. Will be relocating Alt to the AC compressor's spot. What's T/C?
@@miked5789 it's the turbocharger :)) If you don't keep the AC, I don't think you'll have a problem with the oil pan
