533i and 635csi compatibility

Post by AlexTheBeaner »

I'm trying to do my research but can't find if the engine harness of a 533i (This is a 84) can be compatible with my e24. I found that a 528e won't work but can't find if the 533i can. Does anybody know if it can work? The guy who is selling me the wire harness actually has the entire fuse box connected to it, maybe i can do the entire swap.

Thank you!

FWIW realoem does not cross reference it to E24's...

if you are doing an entire swap for your harness, not just accessories harness, it needs to match your computer or you have to swap ECU's as well. Check the number on your ECU and the one from your donor vehicle and see if they match.
