[WIP] BMW E6 - 2002 Touring

[mane2]

Starting a project to convert BMW 2002 Touring from -73. Tesla SDU to the back, X5 pack to front, Outlander dc-dc and charger, Simpbms with Teensy 4.1 for BMS. IBooster and maybe Mini R56 electric steering rack.

Motor removed.

Type 2 charge port installed. Really nice fit. Need to invent something for attaching the original chrome cap to that plastic one.

Cool project, thanks for sharing! Which SimpBMS hardware with Teensy4.1 do you use? It's hard to keep an overview of (working) projects.

Thanks! Plan is to control everything via canbus. Also adding some VCU functions to that Teensy and add a relay board to switch 12V to different devices. So only Teensy 4.1 + relayboard.

3d printing type-2 charging socket cap that goes into chrome gas filler cap housing.

This one converts 02 BMWs to SDU. Unfortunately, there are few pictures or data.

Thanks! Interesting.

I think there was a picture of this car


Nice and good quality video but would have loved bit deeper dive into tech stuff, as always

i3 battery seems to cope well with the heat generated doing Nordschleife lap. No info on the cooling on the web pages either.

Cutting the trunk and subframe for making space for the motor. Next up, buy some metal profile for strengthening the rear and create mounts for the SDU.
