2 year inspection together. Resetting trick (http://www.unofficialbmw.com/e36/electrical/e36_reset_service_lights.html) jumping 7 to 19 works great and as expected.

Here are some pictures:

Nice pics Javier,

by the way, do you have details about the wire/cable colors and the connections of the main engine harness connector? That is the one big black connector between the 20 pin diagnostic connector and the fuse box in case of a straight six engine.
There are 25 pins in total in this connector.
On a 730 R6 it is near left front strut tower, on a V8 740 it is on the right cylinder head, beneath top engine cover. And on a 750 2 connectors are near left front strut tower.
Blue/yellow wire # 1 is for dynamic switch and blue/white wire # 2 is for static switch. for oil level sensor according to Bentley Repair Manual.
The others??
I assume the colours and pin numbers are same for all E34 and E32 at least, as long as they have 25 pins there.

I've prepared this xls sheet for you, please insert any corrections you find appropriate and let me know about them.

And look under E32.
If any questions to the German, just ask what you need translated.
You you electronic wizzards all have the same language with abbreviatios.

On the 20pin connector, pin 7 is the last in row to get eaten by what looks like Pacman. That's how I remember it; I don't even need to refer to the diagrams any more. lol

Registered as suggested, but could hardly understand any word.

no problem, if you look under the E32 tips and tricks on 7 Forum, most of it is in English anyway.
And pictures say often more than words.
