Re: Lexus GS450H Powered BMW E60

I manged to find an enclosure to fit over the HV connections. It a tight fit but the 50mm2 H07 cable/glands just fit. Sealed the box to inverter casing using Tec 7 sealer IMG_20210328_212400.jpg IMG_20210328_212302.jpg I used thick wall copper boiler tube pipe as the standoffs. I did a quick CSA che...

Re: Lexus GS450H Powered BMW E60

I got my hands on an electric liquid cabin heater from a BMW F30 330E. I think its around 5kW. No idea about wiring and control yet. HV positive and neutral are through the large orange cable. Its has a thermostat on the outlet pipe. A 3 cable (Brown, brown/red & brown/white) connector then on t...

Re: Lexus GS450H Powered BMW E60

Some progress with the locking plate over the weekend. I got parts laser cut to reduce any welding. This will allow me to get everything in place and to test fitment before welding. The bracket that will sit on the sub-frame is also adjustable as I've yet to pull the engine. I got one of the inverte...

Re: HOWTO: Flashing ESP8266

An update on flashing the ESP for the GS450H VCU following yesterdays post. With some help and testing by the group, we've got the result we were after. The original issue was that MG2 rpm was fixed at 9000rpm and was not updating. DSC_5177(1).gif Decision was made to re-flash the ESP as it was sus...

Re: Lexus GS450H Powered BMW E60

Great looking project. Do you know if the E60 came with the option of the electric steering rack (similar to the E90) around the same time? I would imagine i did on some models. It should be possible to code in the electric steering rack, if it was an option and drop the hydraulics altogether. The ...

Re: Lexus GS450H Powered BMW E60

You should find a lot of similarites with the E65 can data. I do have and E60 cluster here so will hook it up on the bench ad see what happens. Yes, I think they are both BN2000 architecture, so it should 'just work'. If not I can dig through MS45 assembly to try and help there. -Matt Thanks for th...

Re: BMW hybrid battery group buy

Great idea. I can commit to 18 modules now and possibly more depending on lead time and cash flow. Thanks
