Putting my motor back in this morning and trying to identify this loose wire. I suspect it got pulled out of a connector then I pulled the motor out. It attaches to the rear side of the drivers side strut tower. It's brown and about 14-16" long. The application is a 1997 ti M44 manual. If someone with a post 10/96 318ti with a stock setup can check under the hood and perhaps take a pic, i'd appreciate it. Thanks! __________________ 1998 318ti Sport - "Cali" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, Cali top 1998 318ti Sport - "Max" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, S52 1997 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior 1995 318ti Active - "Blanca" Alpineweib III/Schwartz leather interior Other Current Bimmers: 2006 530i / 2000 2.3L Z3 / 1997 1.9L Z3 / 1999 540it 1997 318ti Sport - "Huera" - RIP 1995 318ti Active - RIP 1995 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Sold 1994 325i Sedan - "Jade" - Sold 1991 318ic - "Bert" - Sold 1985 635csi sold 1984 533i "Max" Sold 1984 318i sold BMWCCA #160411 SUPPORT 318ti.org!

Does it look like a factory-type wire? I'm wondering if it was an aftermarket ground for something. | | | 08-05-2012, 05:42 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | Quote: Originally Posted by CirrusSR22 Hmm, I have a 96 and nothing like that, and certainly nothing that attaches to the back side of the strut tower. Does it look like a factory-type wire? I'm wondering if it was an aftermarket ground for something. | Ya, looks factory. the motor I'm swapping in is a M44 from a 96 and I had to swap the exhaust, fuel rail, intake manifold and upper timing chain cover to cover differences in the pre 10/96 M44 and post 10/96. As such, I know there are wiring differences as the wiring harnesses are slightly different. Thanks for looking and commenting. I just didn't want to take the intake apart again in case the connection was on the underside of the motor before I drop the motor back in. __________________ 1998 318ti Sport - "Cali" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, Cali top 1998 318ti Sport - "Max" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior, S52 1997 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Schwartz II/Schwartz sport interior 1995 318ti Active - "Blanca" Alpineweib III/Schwartz leather interior Other Current Bimmers: 2006 530i / 2000 2.3L Z3 / 1997 1.9L Z3 / 1999 540it 1997 318ti Sport - "Huera" - RIP 1995 318ti Active - RIP 1995 318ti Sport - "Tiny" Sold 1994 325i Sedan - "Jade" - Sold 1991 318ic - "Bert" - Sold 1985 635csi sold 1984 533i "Max" Sold 1984 318i sold BMWCCA #160411 SUPPORT 318ti.org!

The brown wire is the one coming up from the bottom of this picture and attaching into the connector. Hope this helps. Last edited by zoner; 08-05-2012 at 06:57 PM.

Red yellow lead attached to the wiring harness and the brown lead connect to a connector to the air pump. I kinda ripped it out. Fixed and all better now. Thanks for checking and the pic! I hope all is well with you.

I have a 3/96 with no air pump, so no wire! Glad you figured it out. | | | 08-06-2012, 03:32 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | Quote: Originally Posted by CirrusSR22 Makes sense.
