Speedo will work as it goes off of the ABS wheel speed sensors which will remain in their stock locations. I will use BMW 1.4 to get into the gauge cluster and turn the rpm signal from digital to analog and then run a wire from the GM ECU to the back of the cluster to have an operational tach. The factory water temperature sensor will be retro fitted into the cooling system I decide to run. The stock in tank fuel pump and sending unit will be retained so the fuel gauge will work as stock but I will replace the factory bmw fuel filter with a corvette fuel filter/FPR. There is a way to get the MPG reading etc to work with some fine tuning but it will not be my top priority. Wiring for this swap should be very similar to the E39 swaps I have done in the past. I'll document as we go along.
This is a toy vehicle for me so keeping AWD was not necessary and with higher hp goals down the road I didn't want to have to keep replacing driveline components.
