Re: 1998 BMW V12 engine M73
pre-purchase inspection this morning engine was starting, gauge cluster was showing some red and orange lights around 1:28
current status: no lights on gauge cluster, no cranking - only cluster back light, so there is SOME electricity in the wires

Engine like that are big and heavy though so I suggest you put in a miata straight away to roll it a round...On a dolly, I meant put it on a dolly straight away

VIN decoder says this car was BMW 317, Orient Blue Metallic / ORIENTBLAU METALLIC (317) - so, it's not black like in the national hit movie, but it's the right model!

Re: 1998 BMW V12 engine M73
First funny ha-ha moment: there is some metal oil canister on the side, so for transportation we've used some metal wire to hook-up this canister to some random bolt on the engine.
Next thing I've connected battery and attempted to start engine.
What did we use to mount oil canister? We've used spare positive terminal to mount whatever canister with a piece of steel wire.

Re: 1998 BMW V12 engine M73
The transmission is the same Bosch 88pin plug as the ECU. (good source of cheap 88pin ecu side plugs as they are hard to get).
You might be able to get away with using the transmission ECU from a 530/540 or 740 v8, as far as I am aware it is nearly identical but check the ETK.
The unit comes up as unique but it may just be the tuning.
I can dig if you want?
Edit - Did a check, the control valve setup in the transmission is shared with the M62 V8 in the 540 and 740 so a transmission ECU from one of those should work.
http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/24341423761/
Manual transmissions for these are tricky, best options are conversion plates to take ZF boxes from the 530 diesel.

Re: 1998 BMW V12 engine M73
My bundle included complete steering column, good thing I've realized that I probably have steering angle sensor there before I threw it all away!
One day I will find out what is that sensor wired to, but for now I am in the world of custom fan removal tools Need to put A/C compressor back on the car to get water pump running. Considering how many little things I have to fix I've created a separate tracking project for that.
First order of business is getting coolant circulating, maybe also start building a better rolling cart for the engine.

Re: 1998 BMW V12 engine M73
The steering angle sensor is for the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) system -- ABS that figures out which direction you wanted to head. It hooks to the K-line diagnostic wire but does most of its reporting over CAN bus.
The data used only by the DSC control module.
IIRC, the 7 series DSC had an enhancement that provided steering input/feedback through the power steering rack to help a driver avoid over-steer. But that's probably unrelated to the upper steering column.

If only you had something good and sturdy that could hold the engine, radiator, move it around the shop....oh and maybe allow some load testing......hmmmm.....how to design such a thing......

Fuel filter was made in June of 1998. Car seems to have 170,000 miles - I think the fuel filter did good.

Re: 1998 BMW V12 engine M73
Looks like radiator is leaking That's a bummer. Wow, cheapest one is $60 shipped that's a surprise. 17111702969
Engine is still starting, tachometer is working but engine does not rev. That's pretty scary, maybe ECU is in some limping mode
But first I really need to cut a lot of wires. Need to find diagrams of these relay and fuse blocks.
Oh, and at some point I would need to mount some mufflers for sure.

Re: 1998 BMW V12 engine M73
Still no throttle response kick-down sensor mounted. It only has one wire, I've grounded mount point just in case it wants GND. With one wire is it VR? Hall? Magic?
I follow pedal adaptation procedure (see video) and yet engine still does not rev. Starts great! Zero throttle response
Any ideas?
Just a status update video

Re: 1998 BMW V12 engine M73
BMW electronics aren't known as being user friendly....my car (2011 328xi) starts and drives just fine but nearly every single dash warning light is on....I gave up trying to figure it out and will replace the car once the police on my commute realize how expired the inspection is because I don't know how to fix it.
I'd say you know the engine runs so why keep messing with that mess of wires? The plan is to hook it to you're ecu so stick to the plan and get t work turning that mess int a harness you can use.
Re: 1998 BMW V12 engine M73
Indeed, what's the purpose? You want to sniff the signals?
I'd suggest finding Haynes repair manual (if there is one for that car) - from my experience, it's the most extensive source of information.
As for the video, I'd say it was more than 5 seconds for each operation.
Have you checked your wiring? Do you see the signal change on the connector?
"Push the throttle pedal all the way down and activate kick down switch, hold it for 3-5 seconds"
On the video I don't see how kick down switch is activated...

Re: 1998 BMW V12 engine M73
This was just a mechanical switch - this engine is revving now!
Next step is to get transmission to spin the output shaft
Also funny how Lighting Control Module is required for cranking

Re: 1998 BMW V12 engine M73
There is an opinion that the mechanical cable from the transmission selector should be connected to the transmission
I have the cable, I have #1 and #2 mounting hardware but I do not have the cable mounting bracket Starting to look for cable mounting bracket part number.

Re: 1998 BMW V12 engine M73
Let me dig out the electrical manual I have for the 750i should help with a lot of this.
Otherwise for BMW work the bentley manual is the goto.

Perhaps these links will be of use: http://www.e38.org/?

Have you scanned the OBD fault codes?

Re: 1998 BMW V12 engine M73
$90 for a paper manual It looks like people have scanned it and there is a .PDF but so far I am unable to find where to download it from.

Re: 1998 BMW V12 engine M73
For the Bentley E38 manual.
I tried to find a 750 ETM that covered the M73 but the only one I could find was a E32 (M70) or 850 one which does have the M73 and should be very similar but use with caution.
