things like the doors/convertible top are on the JBE>chassis modules side of the electrics, in the FRM i believe (http://bmw.workshop-manuals.com/1_Se...ex.php?id=3856), rather than the JBE>DME side

so the key/buttons send the unlock code outside of the DME, and only require the DME>CAS interaction to be successful in de-immobilising the car.

so it's a waste of time swapping in the body loom, as all you'll really achieve is making things unhappy.. all you need is the engine loom to plug into the DME, then the DME plugs into the chassis side connector (large grey lead i think?)

Also if you are just changing the engine loom (which should just plug in) will there then be VIN differences between ECU, EWS, Speedo etc which means it will not work. What about the other modules?

if swap dash with DME and CAS, then no issues, it all matches.

CAS stores the immobilisation code for the ECU and is needed for it to be started

I can't remember any others that store VIN or anything, just need calibration/synch., part numbers for things like ABS sensors are identical.
Thanks again for your replies.

Just need to work out some of the acronyms hehe.

But it seems for the moment that my biggest problem will not be with the actual physical install, just potentially the coding of the combined cars.
