Project BMW 535i GT 2010 -Lexus GS450

Post by mahmoud »

"Converting a 2010 BMW 535i GT into an electric vehicle using a fourth-generation Lexus GS450 motor with a ZombieVerter. However, I am facing an issue connecting the inverter to the ZombieVerter. All the projects on the forum are based on the third-generation Lexus GS450—does it use the same wiring? I would appreciate support. For reference, I have already started removing the engine."

Have you tried it yet or not? I vaguely remember someone saying it worked fine on here but you'd be probanoy best just trying it out and seeing if it works. Are the connectors identical?

Hey mahmoud,
I started a similar project a while ago with a F11 525d. I'm still in research, because the Flexraybus used in the F-series makes it more difficult to integrate the ev-drive into the vehicle's software-enviroment. You can take a look at my project and see what i found out until now and (more important) the statements of the others here (especially Damian's). Maybe we can get in contact.
