Order of work1. Check every part against the parts list. 2. Cut and label every wire (labels: Export → Wire labels). 3. Crimp and pin connector by connector, ticking the build checklist. 4. Run the bench test with nothing plugged in and the battery disconnected. 5. Only then connect the ECU and power up.

Build checklist

Tick each box as you go. Continuity: meter from end to end, expect under 1 Ω.

Bench test (before first power-up)

Battery disconnected, ECU and every sensor unplugged. Meter on resistance. Each pair below must read open (OL): a reading means a pinched wire, a stray strand or a mis-pinned cavity. Then check continuity of every wire (last column of the build checklist).

Notes

Fit check: unconfirmed. Confirm these before building: - Needs CAN (E46 K-bus/CAN); not documented for this ECU - Trigger pattern for BMW S54 not found in the ECU's docs (no BMW S-series trigger pattern named) - This car has EWS 3.3 (rolling code) immobilizer; needs a delete/bypass Auto-mapped by auto_map() from the library pin data on 2026-10-06. Review every wire against both manuals before building. Open items: - OEM-X60003 29: Intake camshaft position: no free cam_hall/cam_vr/frequency_in input on Emtron Shadow 8 - SHADOW8-B 21: Digital input 10 / ignition switch: required by Emtron Shadow 8 but no stock pin feeds it; wire by hand Not wired: - SHADOW8-A 17: Knock 1 − left open: the stock knock sensor has one ECU wire; check the ECU manual for single-wire knock sensors - SHADOW8-A 25: Knock 2 − left open: the stock knock sensor has one ECU wire; check the ECU manual for single-wire knock sensors - OEM-X60003 46: Knock sensor 3: no free knock input on Emtron Shadow 8 - OEM-X60003 47: Knock sensor 4: no free knock input on Emtron Shadow 8 - OEM-X60003 9: VANOS exhaust solenoid: no free low_side/ls_hs/injector/hbridge on Emtron Shadow 8
