That's a lot more straight forward than I expected. I had the same "ease" with the early C4 where the engine controls were 99% stand alone. Later cars are a mess with ECMs talking to BCMs which I kind of expected the BMW to have issues with.
Good to hear!
BTW, I like this dive right in approach much better than the slow roll...
Does it matter what accessories (Camaro vs Corvette) for fitment? I assume since you mentioned cable TB this is out of a F-body.
Yup, that is why I jumped when I saw this F-body LS1. You need LS1 F-body front end accessories, as well as the F-body Oil pan. The GTO/ls2/ls3 pans will not fit with some kits, it is kind of up in the air. This is the 100% fit solution.
Yeah, the E46 M3 has can-bus which is a nightmare for getting around the ECU. The only situation like that is the key/security EWS. However, since I am no longer using a BMW ECU, it will not be a problem. (and an aftermarket tune for the GM ECU).
BTW- I would love your help/general knowledge on anything LS related. I really am a newbie to these motors/pushrod motors. I know general engine building, and know roughly how to do everything; but I bet I will be asking plenty of questions. What cam/intake do you have on your car? How much power are you making? What tune?
