Cranked her over for the first time tonight, spins fast and sounds great. We have oil pressure, we have fuel pressure, and we almost have diagnostics. Friday is the day....

Great news Mike, really hope she is fine on Friday....so far so good, will keep my fingers crossed.
The last 2 days have been very frustrating, it's 'finished' apart from the air filters and re-fitting the bumper and washer bottles, but we can't get it to run, or even crank. We suspect it's a coding problem between the DME/EWS/key... our boffin will be there Monday night hopefully to sort the last bits out
A few pics attached from my phone cam, the complete conversion has been done with BMW parts, I defy you to tell that it wasn't made that way out of the factory
Oh, and the bonnet shuts too

hope you sort it out on monday, it does look very professional, congrats, I suppose all the hard stuff is over, its just the frustrating little bits now.
The good news is that it appears that all of the wiring is correct, we can talk to both the engine and the E34's electrical system via the in-car OBD connection which in itself is a huge achievement. All of the engine and DME checks out perfectly as expected
The bad news is that the new EWS is knackered, we can't talk to it and nor can the DME. No idea how or why... new one will be fitted and coded on Wednesday night
