?? not sure where you are looking. genuine BMW valley pan is $72. Febi brand is $57. taking the old pan off and scraping the old gasket and using a tube of permatex is like $5

I don't know either? I just looked again and you are right.
But where I am now I will have all my parts by Friday so this weekend I am pushing hard to fire her up and burn some tires. A little coolant leak won't hurt (didn't appear to be leaking anyway) until I dyno the motor and make sure she is up to snuff.

ECU was sent to the wrong address so I am battling that right now. Also, the engine harness I was sent was not the one I purchased so that is fun.
Definitely frustrating when I have the motivation, but not the parts.
Anyone know of any good painters that do work on the side? Looking to get some IS skirts and get a paint job over the winter.

Also need to title the car still.
Anyone have experience with registering as a collector/classic?
Thinking about "V 80 30" for the plate.
I'm pretty sure if you title as a collector/classic/hobbyist that you don't get to pick what the plate says. I was looking into hobbyist plates for my e21.

Hobby/collector plates are just a number in wi based off your collector Id. Dmv page has all the details.
This is correct unfortunately, they just assign you a number. I believe you are also not allowed to drive a car with collector plates in January. Registration used to be a one time fee and then good forever but I don't think that's the case anymore
-
Pay registration once and that's it
Only pay to transfer it to a different car

Yes it's $200 for first time and there is a specific dmv form to get a temp plate for collector cars in January do year round isnt an issue. As Kaiser said plates are good forever until a transfer is needed.

If you plan on putting on fender flares and things like that you will need to get hobbyist plates, antique/collector plates require that the vehicle is fairly original in appearance.
Also I was wrong about the perminant registration, I had heard they were getting rid of it

Hoping for some help from the community.
All my mechanical is done. Driveshaft, booster, brakes, clutch, etc. I am stuck on the wiring. Here is my current setup.
1997 M62 OBDII engine harness
Tuned 88 pin 1997 540i ECU with EWS delete
1998 non-vanos motor
I am getting voltage to the dme since it is hard wired, but not sure if the DME power is hooked up. Anyone who has done another motor swap with any input?
Here is labeled C101, 2 relayed on the engine harness, white plug off the harness and DME (not plugged in).
I've got power and ground to everything (sloppy for now)
This is where I am confused. I know the black wire leads to my starter, but what about the rest?
I can get the starter to engage by hooking up 12v to it, I can get the fuel pump going. When I crank it with fuel pressure it doesn't fire up.
What am I missing?
For the record here is the C101 and DME pinout for this setup:
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would love to get this thing running before winter hits.
