to the guys that no all about this

i have just fitted a new engine in my e60 3 ldiesel the engine came with the wireing loom attached ready to plug and play

so i have dropped the motor in connected everything as it should be but the starter will not kick in

now i have never had the car started since i have had it due to the engine being dismanteled when i got it

when i turn the key on to start it tells me to put foot on brake to start which i do butt nothing happens and i just noticed the engine managment light on

can any one give me some info on this

Did you get the ECU with the engine?

That may be your issue (as my 1st guess). Can you contact the seller to get it?

i think the car has now been crushed but they may have kept it to sell on do you think it would be possible to get the one on the car set up for this engine or is that going to be pricey

after taking the battery lead off last night i put it back on this afternoon and low and behold it started although the engine management light is still on and the engine sounds ok she is smoking a bit even more when its reved up i so hope it is just down to be in the need of a set up by the auto leccy as i so dont want to take it back out
