Definitely. A 525i that he's had since new, apparently.

This is true. It's a very good car. It's build date is 4/9/92, the day before my birthday :haw:

Pretty awesome, man. Where did you end up getting the pedal cluster from? I'm kind of having trouble finding a cheap good used one. Mind if I e-mail you a couple questions about the swap?

I got the pedal cluster complete from a little place called Continental Something-or-other near Philly. Email away, rocketsalad (at) gmail, but really, it turns out E34's are super simple. I've never tried this kind of swap before and the whole time I was amazed how basic it really is.

I'm told that grounding pin 25 on the DME will get rid of the annoying TRANS PROGRAM message and binging.

What you're thinking of is called a "dogleg-pattern," but the MB pattern they're describing is more like:

code:

  1 3 5
,-|-|-'
R 2 4

Dogleg is:

code:

R 2 4
