alarm on bmw 3 series

Howie.... you can do that car with your eyes closed can't you?

I did an E36 in 2 hours today, whilst I was showing someone else how to do an E30 all the time trying to do a "super" (it's for a show) job on a Nissan Pulsar Turbo! Boy am I tired!

hi would you happen to know the tach wire colour for start check on 316i e30 and where i can intercept it? i had a look at some wiring diagrams for my car but cant seem to find anything on that... thanks

Guess what? Look at the right side of your engine bay, sitting just in front of your wheel arch is something called a coil. Two 12 volt leads, one lead goes to 12V+ on ignition, the other one is what you need, black possibly marked 31 or -. Also known as the CB/Dist side of the coil. If no coil, look to the engine bay diagnostic socket, if there's a black wire in there, that's it OR behind the inst. panel to the rev counter.

its possible, just use a relay wired as a starter kill.

toggle switch, one side to ground other wire to relay

85 - ground from toggle switch

86 - ignition 187a - start wire key side30 - start wire motor side
