Hi,
I have joined this group to gain as much advice, tips and insight for a major Swap project I intend on commencing in a couple of weeks.
I have a 1998 RHD Z3 1.9l and 5spd Manual which I will be swapping in a 2010 E93 N55 6sp auto with all the looms being swapped into the Z3 from the E92.
I have some programming concerns due to the E30 Subframe and E36 Front end and those limitations on Braking systems and Differential talking to DSC and DME. Please chime in if you have done anything similar or have any advice or tips.

go google on how people do MK60e5 and MK60 ABS retrofits
e9x runs mk60e5 which is a newer variant of the e46 m3 dsc system and lots of people retrofit them as standalone abs systems into cars so theres a lot of info out there

hardware wise, you will need the dsc module with solenoid/pump, yaw sensor, szl (steering angle sensor + stalks), wheel speed sensors (iirc e36 ones might work), wheel bearings with the abs magnetic ring (iirc e36 has this but since z3 uses components from e30 in the rear, i am not sure), some way of turning dsc off (eg. button box or shorting wires that go to the jbbf)

heres a pinout of the dsc for reference
