K lets think
On the e46
The HVAC, Audio, Rain sensor, light module ect on the e46 works on K-Line.
The only can in the car is the DSC, IKE (cluster) and DME.
On the E60, it is totally can and MOST
Stuff that runs on MOST would be the entertainment stuff, so that you can actually scratch out, and use the E46 audio stuff ect.
Safety systems, such as the airbag, head restraints, seatbelt stalk on the E60 runs byteflite, which is optical and not part of MOST, which means, you must run the ASR module from the E46
Your challange is going to be that you probably need a WOL signal from the DME or at the very least the CAS, waking up the other modules... and thats exactly, where you are going to start poo-ing yourself.
Now since you will be running the S85 DME, you can no longer run EWS, but you must run CAS. Which means, you will have to change a great deal of things.
Do you have the diamond shaped key (I HOPE) on the E60, cause if so then you can transplant the key section onto the e46 key. If you have an FOB on the E60 "Your going to have a bad time"
Are you going to be using the gearbox out of the M5, if so, your going to have a bad time.
Simply because, the DSC will be feeding the gearbox with information, along with the DME,but then you will need the DSC controller and pump out of the E60, which again is CAN, so you would have to break out the can to it.
But if you run the E60 DSC, which is not really a problem, you are going to have to extend brake pipes and all kinds of bits, the booster you can use out of the E60, thats not an issue, but inputs on wheel sensors ect, I cannot even begin to fathem.
Next issue is going to be the configurable diff and sports suspension...
Shooo, your major issue here is the incompatible bus versions....
You need to call me or buy lunch, I will come visit.
This project of course is entirely doable, has been done, so it can be done.
But the master task is so that everything in the car still works, everything must work, right down to the last ashtray light....
Fun and games....
Dafuq did you just say...? :rollsmile:
