Hi Guys...

Today im going to do it.
Im driving an 1994 e36 Compact und try to take a notice which cabels we have to connect with and post it if i can finish it!

It's plug and play for E30 M42's and early E36 M42's.  If you have 4 coil connectors in your harness then you are good to go.  If you have an E36 with the single round connector then you need to make up a new harness or splice into your existing.

Check out http://www.hqautosport.com for more information.


Hey Rob. Where are more informations about the wireing? Cant find it.

I mean you do not nead any adapter plate with newer ignition coils and they are cheap even new. Problem is that you need connectors new or used. I wiil use these I think, it's more simple and lighter.

Great news... we built and tested an E36 Plug & Play prototype. It worked like a charm! We are collecting the materials to produce both a PnP kit, as well as a less expensive kit that requires a modification to the harness.

No details on the new kit yet, we just built and tested the first one.  It's pretty ugly so no pics :).

You basically unscrew the ECU from the existing coil pack, install the new harness, coils, and plate, plug the new harness into the coils, and start the car.

Here are some photos of the first pre-production unit.  The production units will look like this.  

We are very close to launching this product on our website.

Are you sure the coils are matched up right?  1-2-3-4 coil plugs to 1-2-3-4 cylinders to the right DME wires?  I don't have the Motronic pinout handy, but it's out there.

The coil sticks also may not be contacting the plugs.

i just made my own bracket using the PDF i found on the net (google searched the file name) and a set of 330i coils on ebay for $46.  

Cut up the aluminum plate and used a vertical Mill at work with a DRO to get all the holes in the right place.  Easy as pie!

Worked great!
