Hey everyone, I've bee slowly putting together parts my BMW conversion, but before I get too deep, I have an important question. The car is a 325xi, and the X means it's all wheel drive. The car is from 2002, and I noticed the manual talking about torque vectoring and features of the AWD system, so it sounds computerized.
By ripping out the engine and the ECU and respective computers, should the car still drive? I mean, like right now, the car probably has no idea how fast it's going, somehow the pervious owner ripped the cables on all the ABS sensors.And so I am guessing the computer doesn't know each individual the wheel speed for this stuff to work, but the car does still drive, so is that a good sign?
What would be your recommendation moving forward with this, I love the idea of having AWD because I am in New England, but is this going to cripple the car if I remove it's electronics?
