BMW E46 M3 electrical powertrain pinouts

Post by Aaron »

I'm looking for the complete electrical system diagrams for the E46 M3's drivetrain. I'd like to have both pinouts, and system diagrams, for everything that interacts with the PCM. Basically as thorough as I can get. I know factory service manuals on GM cars include this, but the systems are not as complex as on the E46. I'm wondering if any of you have this info, and can pass it along?

Do you think this would include what I'm looking for, or is it more basic?

Your link didn't come through right. Use the item number.

I asked at the dealership for service info for my 5 and was told "BMW does not distribute service information to the public" period.

However, the right Bentley manual (like Haynes/Chiltons, but on steroids and worth a damn) should have most of what you need.

Here's the item number: 110416883113

It says it covers like every BMW ever made, that's why I'm skeptical.

We don't condone this on RFT... but you can torrent most of that shit. My buddies 06 745Li had an 03 Nav Disc in it for some reason and we were able to download the 08 Nav Disc and burn it. The BMW stuff is out there, you may try downloading it, see if its what you want, and if it is spend $15 to make yourself feel better, but I have a feeling that guy didn't pay for it either.

I had already downloaded that one after you suggested torrents, but it is just the manual that you'd find int he glove box, and doesn't include the M3 anyways. Thanks a lot for looking though!

My friend runs a shop and has that like $20,000 shop database thingy, he had all the pinouts for the fiero and 99 Regal GS, next time I'm there I'll ask if he can get the M3. What year is it.

The pics in the auction look like BMW's ETK. Check out http://www.realoem.com/bmw/select.do for the ETK info.

That's just a parts listing, probably doesn't have diagrams or procedures, though.

Are you looking for something in particular? I can get you certain pinouts, but the overall wiring diagram is freaking massive. It also transmission options the car has.
