Great video. If you jump pins 7 and 8 on your k+dcan cable you should be able to use NCS Expert. For whatever reason, this is necessary to get it to work on the E46. If you need exact steps let me know because the coding isn’t very difficult and you have everything needed to get it done.
hey, not sure if you changed something in your wiring, but the Brown/black clutch wire needs to go the the Brown/Black break wire, you hooked it up to #3 which was a brown/grey.
Great job! Your issues with programming might not be with the software or your skills. The obd2 cable you have might not have pins 7 & 8 soldered together and if that’s the case a lot of the software won’t read or write properly.
Hey man, first off I want to thank you for your video and let you know that I am extremely grateful, as I am sure many people are. If you don't mind me asking, are you anywhere near Atlanta Ga?
Hey man, great videos. I also did the swap. Cruise not working with wiring done and coding done with ECUWORX and NCSExpert. Did you fix your cruise? The only error I'm getting is Error 80 on the DME for clutch switch related problem.
@@RacingRejects thanks for the reply, I went diggin through my car and found that I've ordered the wrong clutch switch. Regular e46 and M3 have different part number switches. Cruise will not work with the regular switch. The right switch is part # 61319122700. Check what you ordered. I ordered the wrong one ending in 898.
It’s been over 2 years since I completed the swap so I’d probably have to watch the video myself to know what I did. The links below are the ones I referred to the most and will be helpful. You should focus on the EWS since that is the only bit of wiring during the swap that could keep the car from starting. www.mforum.net/forum/e90-m3-sedan-e92-m3-coupe-e93-m3-convertible-2008-2013/diy-ab/84-diy-comprehensive-smg-to-manual-conversion forums.m3cutters.co.uk/threads/cruise-and-reverse-parking-sensors-after-smg-to-manual-conversion.186233/
Thank you so much for uploading these videos that are basically visualizing the hours of forum reading I’ve done for this

Frank Smith Tunning Tech has a one button SMG to Manual tune available, you can do that instead of doing the coding yourself

its a great video and very helpful thanks
it be great if you can make a list of what all you needed and used
so i can order it all and get mine done
Hi, thanks video, could it be you plugged the pin 20 clutch in x60004, as according to me it should be on x60002...
Thanks for the video it's really helpful in doing the swap!
Excellent!! The wiring was shown as good as it gets. Thank you! great Job.. Just need to learn to reprogram it LOL
These vids are amazing! Thank you!

I wanna hear your equal length headers!!

I’m in south MS.

No I haven’t tried to troubleshoot it yet.

Any interest in doing another one? I’m from Cincinnati but I’ll bring it down to you if you’re interested. Let me know what it would cost. Thanks!
Great video! Do you have the part number for the leads with the pins?
I used BMW 61130006663.
How much would you charge for that conversion?
Also did I miss it in the first video, but did you tap the bellhousing for the gear identification sensor?
No. It’s not needed if you wire it the way I did.
@@RacingRejects Thanks! Upon second watch I saw you mentioned that. Must have missed it the first time!
hey i notice you from perry county i went to Richton High school did you go to richton or perry central
Perry Central.
Did you sell the Smg parts or the smg shifter or the pump ? If not can I buy it from you
I still have them. Send an email to theracerejects@gmail.com.
Hey what fixed your stalling issue ?
The stalling stopped after flashing the ECU with the ECUWorx manual tune.
Hey I really need some help. I did the exact wiring you did in my car won’t start is there anything else you think I might missed

@@RacingRejects ok thank you
@@RacingRejects One last question did you use the gear position switch on the transmission
I did not. I haven’t been able to get my cruise control to work, but it didn’t work before the swap either.
@@RacingRejects Thank you so much
What did everything cost you?
I would have to find and add up all my receipts. I would estimate around $1500 with all new parts and upgraded shifter.
@@RacingRejects do you have links to the parts?
Can I use any manual m3 manual parts for this install?
I can’t stand this dudes speech. It sounds like he’s chewing on his tung.
If you want to insult someone at least spell it right.
