    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

            What are the advantages to collector/antique?

            I don't mind not driving it in January.

              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

                    Since they got rid of the permanent registration a while ago, I'd just get regular plates. They are way cheaper and look better, especially on a red car. Your car is emissions exempt anyways due to age.

                      Yeah, and I do want personal plates in case I ever sell it I will have a memento.

                      Still leaning towards V 80 30, but probably more appropriate headake sl0 or bstrd

                        BSTRD will never make it through the dmv.

                            RX7 BBK in the mail.

                            With the suspension brakes and torque this shouldn't make a bad autox machine.

                                That isn't my plate. I just ordered a BBK. If that's what you were referencing.

                                  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).

                                  2188872480046bf7237c3z.jpg

                                  I've got power and ground to everything (sloppy for now)

                                  22050752966ff40366724z.jpg

                                  This is where I am confused. I know the black wire leads to my starter, but what about the rest?

                                  22076932925be85576309z.jpg

                                  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:

                                  21456039643aa33b04846.jpg

                                  21890265999132f265e17z.jpg

                                  Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would love to get this thing running before winter hits.

                                      garagistic has a little chart on m62 wiring: http://garagistic.com/index.php?page=e30-m60-wiring

                                      i can't find any wiring diagrams online to identify that white 12-pin connector.

                                        Thanks guys.

                                        Not getting fuel/spark.

                                        I need to make sure my motor is ground, doing that today after work.

                                        Dan - I think you did just find it on that link - any idea what B/S mean? Wouldn't the socket and pin housing be the same?

                                        That would make sense too because the only thing I was using for that white 12-pin was the starter out. I wasn't putting any V in to power the DME etc.

                                        Edit - the table didn't show - it is the one at the bottom of the link you used.
