Anyone here knows of an "easy" location to get a tach output signal to the dynometer?
I've had my Alpine White/Red Leather-brushed Aluminum e60 M5 for 4 weeks now. I'm studying different performance avenues, but want to get a base run on my car before any changes are made.
There must be a tach output signal that's easily tapped into rather than removing the coil covers to apply the signal pick-up, right? I've noticed (as far as I can tell) there's no diagnostic interface under the hood of this model... where pin "6" (I believe) used to be the rpm signal. Is by chance pin "6" inside the car (the diagnostic plug) the tach output signal??
Our local dynometer has the 12v adapter, but I suppose the M has excellent noise suppression as we couldn't get a signal via this method.
My friend dyno'd his e55 today through the 12v power supply inside his car without an issue. He did, however, have to perform a sequence in order to put his car into "test" mode; used for dyno'ing, etc. Perhaps this mode removes any noise filtration and allows for the 12v adapter to operate correctly... I don't know. Is there any such "mode" for the M?
Anyway, any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
